I'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?

View allI've been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia in my upper stomach and the pain is constant it's making it hard to eat properly. Is this something that can be treated with medication or will I need surgery? Also, could you recommend a good doctor for this? I'm really concerned about my condition.
They may recommend medicines called antacids or alginates, which can help ease your symptoms. It's best to take these with food or soon after eating, as this is when you're most likely to get symptoms. They may also work for longer if taken with food.

it's been 10 days since my large intestine surgery and i was wondering if smoking is safe for me now or should i wait longer
Smoking can slow down and interfere with the healing of bones, skin and other body tissues. You are more likely to have wound infection after surgery, longer healing times, problems with new scars opening up and bad scarring. And there are lot of other complications from smoking,,, please quite smoking.
