I'm really worried about my sister because she's been experiencing pain on the right side of her rib. It's been tough figuring out who we should consult for this. Could you help point us in the right direction or suggest which specialist might be best to see?

Generally, eyebrow threading and upper lip threading are safe during pregnancy. However, to minimize risks:
- Ensure the threading area is clean and sanitized.
- Use a new, sterile thread.
- Avoid excessive pulling or tugging.
- Consider doing a patch test before threading.

View allI'm really worried because my GGT levels have shot up from 180 to 425 in just 10 days. I got tested for viral hepatitis and thankfully both hepatitis B and C came out negative. I'm on medication, but it doesn't seem to be helping with the GGT. What can I do to bring these levels down? Could my medication be affecting it?

Chest X-Ray Findings _Interpretation_ 1. _Prominent bilateral perihilar vascular markings_: This means that the blood vessels in the lungs, particularly around the hilar region (where the lungs connect to the heart), appear more prominent than usual on the X-ray. 2. _Normal findings otherwise_: The rest of the X-ray findings are normal, which suggests that there are no other significant abnormalities in the lungs or chest. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Increased blood flow_: Prominent vascular markings can indicate increased blood flow to the lungs, which may be due to various factors, such as: - High blood pressure - Heart conditions (e.g., heart failure) - Pulmonary hypertension - Anemia 2. _Other possible causes_: Less common causes include: - Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) - Pulmonary vein obstruction _Level of Concern_ 1. _Mild concern_: While the finding is not immediately alarming, it does warrant further evaluation to determine the underlying cause. 2. _Follow-up recommended_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the findings and determine the best course of action. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss the X-ray findings with your doctor to determine the next steps. 2. _Additional tests_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests, such as: - Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) - Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - Computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest
