Question 1

I've been dealing with hepatitis A since last month, and I've noticed my SGPT levels are all over the place, sticking around 60-90 for the past two weeks. It's like they go down a bit and then shoot back up again. I'm trying to be careful with a bland diet and haven't been physically active, just doing stuff on the computer. Any idea why this is happening? Is it normal for SGPT to take a while to stabilize?

Accepted Answer

SGPT fluctuating after Hepatitis A is fairly common as your liver heals. It can take a few weeks to a couple of months for the levels to normalize, depending on the severity of the infection and your overall health. Keep following your doctor's advice on diet, rest, and lifestyle, and avoid any additional strain on your liver. If you continue to see fluctuations or have concerns, your doctor may recommend further testing to ensure full recovery.

Question 2

I'm having a problem where I need to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times every morning, and it's not a complete bowel movement. This has been happening since I was born. Whenever I have to leave the house early, I take an Eldoper tablet to prevent more bathroom trips. I'm worried if taking Eldoper could seriously affect my liver. How should I handle this situation?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

Hey, I've been having some breathing issues for the past six months and it's bothering me a lot. Im a 26-year-old guy with a lean build, but my belly sort of sticks out and I'm wondering if its related. Every night about 20 minutes after I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly feeling breathless and like my throat is narrowing. Drinking a glass of water seems to help, and then I can sleep through the rest of the night. In the morning, there's this discomfort in my upper chest, along with a weird taste in my mouth and it feels dry, which wakes me up. Sometimes I notice I clench my teeth in my sleep too.

I've noticed whenever I eat, whether it's lunch or dinner, the discomfort in my stomach and chest gets worse and my breathing problems intensify. If I lie down for a while, it seems to help. And if I have a drink, the next day's breathing and eating feel even more difficult. The tightness in my chest and stomach is really noticeable when Im sitting down. Also, I walk 4 kilometers daily. Could these things be connected, and what should I do about it?

I've been experiencing this pain in my left side rib area since last week. Could you help me figure out why this might be happening and what could be causing it? What kind of treatment should I consider, or is there a specific type of doctor I should see for this?
