I've been dealing with a fatty liver, and just a couple of months ago, my SGPT levels were at 96. Now, thanks to medication, they've dropped to 63. But now I'm concerned because my direct bilirubin has gone up to 0.6, whereas it was normal before. Should I be worried about this change in bilirubin, and does it mean anything serious about my liver condition or overall health?

Your SGPT levels have improved with medication, but your direct bilirubin has increased. This could indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage. I recommend you continue with your current medication and also consider adding Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce bilirubin levels. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and further guidance.

View allI've been feeling strange for the past couple of months, and it's happened twice already. I get this itchy feeling in my throat, and there's a heaviness right in the middle of my chest and the tube that leads from my throat to my stomach. It gets really uncomfortable. Breathing feels really tight, although it's still okay, but then I also get this uneasy feeling in my stomach. After about a week, it settles down, but then I start having pain in my lower abdomen. I used pantocid before, which helped, but now I'm confused. Is this a gastric issue, something heart-related, or maybe a breathing problem? Can you offer any advice?

I've been dealing with acidity for the past year, especially in the mornings. I've tried a bunch of medicines, and while they help, I end up feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
To alleviate morning acidity and weakness, consider the following: modify your diet by avoiding trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or citrusy), eating smaller, more frequent meals, and incorporating alkaline-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains); in addition to antacids or acid reducers, try natural remedies like ginger, aloe vera juice, or licorice tea;

I've been having this pinching pain in one spot of my stomach for a while now, but it usually just lasts a few seconds, so I've sort of ignored it. But lately, like for the past week, it's been happening more often. There's no swelling or marks or anything like that. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you might be experiencing intermittent pain due to something like gas, indigestion, or even stress. However, if the pain has become more frequent, it could be worth getting it checked out to rule out issues like ulcers, acid reflux, or other stomach conditions. A visit to a doctor would help clarify the cause.
