I'm really struggling with eating properly these past two weeks. Every time I try to eat food like chapati or rice, I feel like I'm going to vomit, and sometimes I actually do, even if it's just fruits. It's really concerning, and I don't know what's going on. I visited a doctor, had some blood tests done, and I just got the results back today. My next appointment is on Saturday, and my ESR level is 60. What does that mean, and could it be causing these symptoms? I'm kind of worried.

I'm really worried because my GGT level has gone up to 250. Is there any way to bring it down in about a week or so? Could you suggest any medications or treatments that might help? I'm really looking forward to your advice.

Elevated GGT levels can be indicative of liver or bile duct issues. To help lower your GGT levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). This medication can help improve liver function and reduce GGT levels. Additionally, you should avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated to support liver health.

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She's been dealing with these severe bleeding hemorrhoids for over three years now, but in the last week, the bleeding has been really bad. It's a tough situation because we can't opt for surgery right now with our baby being just four months old. We're planning to have the surgery in May when our older son has his school break. Until then, do you have any advice on how we can manage or stop the bleeding? Were really concerned about the amount of blood she's losing.

Yes you can opt for conservative management as well,visit surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management.
