I'm really struggling with lax lesophagitis and pangastritis for the past decade, and I've been on PPIs for about the same amount of time. The side effects are becoming a bit too much to handle. Should I think about surgery as an option, or just stick it out with the PPIs?

View allI recently got my blood test results back, and it shows my SGOT is at 43 and SGPT is 85, which seems higher than normal. Should I be concerned about this? I've had an ultrasound on my abdomen too, and it says I have a Grade 1 fatty liver. I do drink alcohol about once a week. How serious is this situation? What steps should I take next?
Concerning that your BP isn't in the normal range despite taking Tazloc AM! Consider discussing the following with your doctor: 1. *Dose adjustment*: Increasing or adjusting the dosage of Tazloc AM. 2. *Combination therapy*: Adding another medication to complement Tazloc AM. 3. *Lifestyle changes*: Enhancing diet, exercise, and stress management to support BP control. 4. *Monitoring*: Regular BP checks to adjust treatment as needed. Remember, it's essential to work closely with your doctor to find the right treatment plan for your high blood pressure.
