View allI've been dealing with constant pain around my chest ribs and lower stomach for the past 15 days. On top of that, my throat hurts, and swallowing food and liquids is difficult. What could be causing all this? Should I be worried, or is there something I can do about it?

I'm really worried because my CT scan showed that I have IBD, and now I'm dealing with worms in my stomach. I can definitely feel them, and it's really uncomfortable. Should I even consider taking medicine for worms right now? I'm not currently on any medication for my IBD, so I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be great!

I've just started with an airline, and part of the onboarding process involved a full body checkup. Everything came back normal except for my GGT level, which was at 56. Could you tell me what this might mean? Is there something specific I should be worried about, and would I need any kind of treatment? My company doctor mentioned it, so I'm just trying to understand it better.
A GGT level of 56 is slightly elevated, which can be caused by various factors such as alcohol consumption, liver disease, or certain medications. To address this, it is important to identify and address the underlying cause. In this case, since everything else in your liver function test is normal, it is likely not a serious issue. To help lower your GGT levels, you can consider making lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a balanced diet.
