Question 1

I'm Arindam, 22 years old, and I've been really struggling with some ongoing digestive problems. Back in August 2015, I was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia, and before that, in January 2014, I had a superficial stomach ulcer. Now, I'm dealing with a loss of appetite, acidity, and stool problems, plus I feel nauseous after every meal for about 20 to 30 minutes. I'm really tired all the time and always feel like my stomach is full. It's gotten so bad that I can't keep up with my studies. Do you have any advice on how I can start feeling better?

Accepted Answer

Avoid foods and drinks that trigger acidity.. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your acidity..

Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals... If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas.

Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines

Question 2

I recently had an ultrasound and found out that my spleen is mildly enlarged at 12.63 cm without any focal lesion. I'm 5.8 ft tall and weigh 83 kgs. Also, I was COVID positive earlier. Right now, my total bilirubin level is 1.3 mgdl and my direct bilirubin is 0.4 mgdl, and my RBC count is 4.4 ul. Could you help me understand what all this might mean and what steps I should take? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice you can give.

Question 3

I'm really concerned because my sgpt, sgot, and ggt numbers are pretty high and above normal levels. Plus, I noticed my leukocyte count is also elevated. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

Accepted Answer

Having elevated SGPT, SGOT, and GGT levels along with increased leukocyte count can indicate liver and inflammatory issues. To address this, you can consider taking medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid to support liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. Additionally, Ibuprofen can help with inflammation and leukocyte count. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
