I'm really concerned right now. A couple of months ago, I had typhoid, but everything seemed fine afterward. I did an ultrasound and all my tests came back normal, so I went back to my usual diet. But recently, after a weekend of drinking more alcohol than usual, I experienced a hangover that felt really strange. I went to the hospital, and while most of my liver function test results were normal, my bilirubin levels were highBilirubin Total was 2.2, Direct was 0.9, and Indirect was 1.3. The ultrasound showed nothing abnormal, though. My doctor prescribed some ursodeoxycholic acid tablets and anti-reflux meds, and suggested we repeat the liver function test after 15 days. I'm pretty worried about this whole situation. Could this be linked to my past typhoid, or did the alcohol play a bigger role? What should I be keeping an eye on? This is stressing me out.

What exactly is this viral load thing I've been hearing about? I'm stressing about my health a lot. Is hepatitis B something that can be cured? My test results came back saying HBsAg is provisionally reactive, and the lab suggested I get an HBsAg confirmatory test. I haven't noticed any of the symptoms I've read about online, but I'm feeling very tired and have lost a lot of weight, going from 68 kg to 58 kg. Could this be because of hepatitis B? How do I find out if this is an acute or chronic infection, and is it something fatal or life-threatening? I'm really worried here.
Viral load refers to the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) present in your blood; a confirmatory test will determine if you're infected; Hepatitis B can be managed, but not completely cured; symptoms like fatigue and weight loss can occur, but it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment; acute HBV is typically self-limiting, while chronic HBV requires ongoing management; it's not immediately life-threatening, but if left untreated, can lead to liver damage or cancer; schedule an appointment with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss your results, determine the stage of infection, and develop a treatment plan.

You know, I've been noticing something strange the past couple of weeks. Every time I eat something a bit oily, like in certain sabjis, or even just drink a not-too-cold cold drink, I get this shortness of breath. It's been really concerning for me. I've tried using DSR and gesowel, and they seem to give me a bit of relief, but I'm still worried. I'm wondering if exercise might help with this. Could something like jogging or walking be beneficial? I've gained some weight since I'm mostly inactive due to my job, so I'm a bit obese now. Any advice on how to handle this situation?
if you are allergic to few foods avoid them. start steam inhalation
