I'm trying to figure out the best timing for my dad's medication. He's been taking tablets like AB Phylline after meals and Montek BL before eating for his cold, but lately, he's been dealing with stomach bloating and some pain. Could these issues be side effects from the meds? Just want to make sure we're doing this right.

I've been dealing with GERD for 4 years and my gastroscopy showed a 40cm hiatus hernia. I constantly feel nauseous with a lump in my throat, and my stress levels are through the roof. Would surgery actually fix my GERD issues? I'm really hesitant about getting that 24hr pH metry test it sounds like it would be awful to go through. How bad is it really?
U need a proper assessment by a surgeon,, of your symptoms clinically to establish volume reflux and Gerd.. Gastro scopy has told that you hav a hiatus Hernia.. There is no need of 24 hr pH metry if you symptoms match with your gastroscopy.. What you need is esophageal manometry... A small miniature tube... 1/10 of size of endoscopy tube... Which you already hav gone through.. That wil establish whether you require surgery called Lap fundoplication and how much you will benefit from it. normally.. Of my pts who hav underwent this surgery... Those who had volume reflux did the best from surgery.

I'm a bit worried about my bilirubin levels since I noticed some mild variations in my latest report. Could you take a look at my results attached here? My total bilirubin is 1.53, with a direct bilirubin of 0.3 and an indirect level of 1.23. Also, my AST (SGOT) is 53 and AST (SGPT) is 77. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it within normal ranges?
