Question 1

I'm dealing with constant burps throughout the day for about a month now. I've visited the doctor three times and tried different medicines like Pantocid DSR and Rantac MPS for the first 10 days without any relief. Then, the doctor switched me to Sompraz L for another week, and now I'm taking Ganaton. I don't have any abdominal pain, I'm eating less spicy and oily foods, drinking plenty of water, and I don't smoke or drink. I go for regular walks and I'm not overweight, but I still feel like there's air bubbling up my throat, making me feel like I need to burp it out. There's no smell or taste to these burps, but it's messing up my daily life and it's really embarrassing around others. The doctor has now suggested I get an endoscopy this weekend to find out what's going on. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or any tips on how to control it?

Accepted Answer

It's good that your doctor has recommended an endoscopy to further investigate the issue. You can continue with your current lifestyle modifications of avoiding spicy and oily foods, staying hydrated, and maintaining regular physical activity. These measures, along with the prescribed medications, may help alleviate your symptoms until the underlying cause is identified through the endoscopy.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level came back at 55 and my cholesterol is at 118. Should I be concerned about the SGPT? What steps can I take to address this?

Accepted Answer

it's normal

Question 3

I'm really worried about my husband's recent LFT results. His SGPT is 119 and SGOT is 86, and his bilirubin total is 0.97. He used to drink alcohol but has stopped now. What could these values indicate? Should we be concerned?

Accepted Answer

These elevated values can indicate liver damage or inflammation. Since he was alcoholic but has now stopped, it's important to continue with a healthy lifestyle. I recommend he takes Ursodeoxycholic acid to support his liver function and Milk Thistle extract to promote liver health.

I'm wondering how long it usually takes to naturally cure piles? I changed my eating habits for a month, and I thought I'd beat it, but the pain is back again. I think I triggered it with some really spicy pani pooris. Is there something else I can try to ease the discomfort?

don't take such foood
