I've been feeling heartburn since yesterday, and it's really bad when I try to sleepduring the day it's there but not as intense. Can you suggest some home remedies that might help?

Hello! It sounds like you are experiencing heartburn that worsens when lying down. For relief, you can try the following home remedies: - Avoiding trigger foods such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods - Eating smaller, more frequent meals - Avoiding lying down right after eating - Elevating your head while sleeping - Drinking ginger tea or chamomile tea - Taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids as needed - Trying over-the-counter H2 blockers like Pepcid AC or Zantac - Using over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec OTC or Nexium 24HR for persistent symptoms - If symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with stomach bloating every morning and night, especially around meal times, and it's also giving me really bad backaches. It's so bad that I need extra back support just to sit. I've tried antacids and things like Pan40, Pudin Hara, and Digene, but they only help for a little while. This has been going on for over two years, and it's been getting worse in the last few months. What could be causing this, and what else can I try for more lasting relief?
Night falls or sex dreams can be distressing. To address this issue, consider the following steps: Consult a urologist or a sexologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

My sister's SGOT and SGPT levels are really high, with SGPT being around 5000. What could this mean for her health? Are there any specific precautions or treatments she needs to consider? She's currently admitted to the hospital, and we're quite worried. Could you please guide us on what to expect and how we can help her in this situation?
High levels of SGOT and SGPT indicate liver damage. An SGPT level of around 5000 is significantly elevated and indicates severe liver injury. Your sister is already admitted in the hospital which is the right decision. The doctors will likely run further tests to determine the underlying cause of the liver damage. In the meantime, she may be given medications like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to help protect her liver cells. It is important for her to avoid alcohol, fatty foods, and any medications that can further harm the liver. She may also need to follow a specific diet plan recommended by the healthcare team. The treatment and precautions will depend on the specific cause of the liver damage, so it's important to follow the advice of her healthcare providers.
