I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold and flu, plus my nose won't stop running, and swallowing is really hard. I also have hay fever, so I'm kinda worried if that's making everything worse. Could this be something more than just a cold? What should I do to feel better?

I'm looking over my recent body checkup results and I'm a bit concerned. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? For instance, my uric acid seems on the higher side at 7.2 mgdl. Also, I'm a 33-year-old male and I'm not sure if my SGOT and SGPT levels, which are at 96 and 161 Ul respectively, are too high. My blood glucose fasting is 118.0 mgdlshould I be worried about this?

I've been feeling really dizzy when I stand up or turn around, and my blood pressure is at 11374 when I'm sitting. I've got asthma, fibromyalgia, and issues with low iron. A few weeks ago, I had a massive ear infection that landed me in the hospital with a high temperature and asthma problems. Now I'm also dealing with a cold and my asthma's acting up. Is it possible that my asthma or iron issues could be making my blood pressure lower than usual, since it's typically around 12080?

Hello...the b.p of 11374 is fine...it is not low to cause giddiness. Your giddiness could be due to anaemia as you mentioned iron issues, you will know it getting a complete blood picture done. Another reason for giddiness could be secondary to your ear infection.
