I've been waking up with a throat problem and a sour taste, plus there are these bumps in my throat. They gave me raciper 40 and zentel for it. A little over a year ago, I had jaundice. Is it okay for me to take zentel given my history?

View allI recently got my liver function test results and I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level came back at 49. Is that considered high? Should I be looking into any kind of treatment for this? Also, my SGOT level is 34. Could you help me understand if these numbers are something to be concerned about?
Your SGPT (49) is slightly elevated, as normal levels are typically below 40 UL. SGOT (34) is within the normal range. It's important to discuss this result with your doctor to understand the underlying cause, but mild elevations may not always require treatment. A healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise can help maintain liver health.

I've been having some pain that's really bothering me, and I can't figure out if it's something serious. I'm 33, female, about 165 cm tall, and weigh 64 kg. Recently, I've been dealing with chest and upper back pain. It's weird because I feel really sharp pain when I lie down, but when I'm sitting up straight or walking, I don't notice it at all. It almost feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and when I swallow my saliva, the pain shoots to the center of my chest and then over to the right side and into my upper back. I also end up burping a lot and have the urge to pass stools when this pain kicks in. If I pay close attention, it seems like the pain starts on my back's right side and radiates to my chest. Is this something related to my heart?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), rather than a heart-related issue. The sensation of something stuck in your throat, pain when swallowing saliva, chest pain that radiates to the right side, upper back pain, and frequent burping are all common symptoms of acid reflux. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Rolaids to help alleviate your symptoms. You can also try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, avoiding lying down immediately after eating, and raising the head of your bed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having these recurring stomach aches every time I try to go to the toilet, but nothing actually happens, just pain on that side. It's really frustrating because it doesn't seem to improve. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just clear up on its own? I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it. Any insights?
It sounds like you're experiencing frequent bowel movements and pain on one side, which could be due to a digestive issue, such as irritable bowel syndrome or an infection. It's important to consult with a doctor to identify the exact cause and get appropriate treatment.
