View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with indigestion for a week now. Everything I eat just comes back up with some sour water, and on top of that, I'm experiencing chest and shoulder pains, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, plus there's this burning feeling in my stomach. Is all this just due to acidity, or could it be something more serious like a heart attack? I'm not sure what to think and would appreciate any advice.
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. However, the symptoms you are describing, including indigestion, sour water regurgitation, chest pain, shoulder pain, light-headedness, dizziness, and burning sensation in the stomach, are more commonly associated with acidity or acid reflux. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help neutralize the stomach acid. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or Nexium to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I recently got my liver function test results and I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level came back at 49. Is that considered high? Should I be looking into any kind of treatment for this? Also, my SGOT level is 34. Could you help me understand if these numbers are something to be concerned about?
Your SGPT (49) is slightly elevated, as normal levels are typically below 40 UL. SGOT (34) is within the normal range. It's important to discuss this result with your doctor to understand the underlying cause, but mild elevations may not always require treatment. A healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise can help maintain liver health.

I'm looking at some of my recent blood work results, and I'm a bit unsure about what they mean. My total bilirubin level is 1.6, direct bilirubin is 0.3, and indirect bilirubin is 1.3. Everything else in my liver tests came back normal, but I'm still concerned if these bilirubin numbers could indicate any health issues. Could you help me understand if there's anything to worry about?
Your bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, primarily due to indirect bilirubin. This could indicate mild liver function changes, hemolysis, or Gilbert's syndrome if you feel well otherwise. Monitor symptoms and consult a doctor for further evaluation if needed.
