I've been experiencing this sharp pain on my right side just below my rib cage. It feels like a pinching sensation, especially when I take a deep breath. A couple of days ago, the same area was really itchy, but it felt like it was deep in my lungs. I can't figure out what's going on because I don't have any other symptoms like fever or body pain. I did have a cough and cold a few days ago though. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this?

I've just gotten my test results, and I'm seeing an SGPT of 60 and a Globulin of 3.6. I'm a bit worried because I haven't been told to see a doctor. Everything else seems normal, but my LDL is at 151. Should I be concerned about these numbers, or is everything within a reasonable range?

I'm having a hard time finding Oflomac 300 in stores. I'm wondering if I can take one Oflomac 100 and one Oflomac 200 instead. Would that work the same?

ombining the tablets to make the correct total dose is possible, but please confirm with your healthcare provider before doing so.
