View allI've been feeling this cramp in my upper left abdomen for a few days now, and I had an ultrasound that didn't show anything wrong. Lately, there's this tingling sensation in my left chest. It doesn't hurt, but it's really annoying and just comes and goes. It's not happening at any set times, but it's still concerning me. As a smoker, should I be worried about this?
do chest xray

I've been dealing with chronic gastritis since October 2013, but back then my liver tests were normal and my liver fibroscan didn't show any issues. Recently, my lab results showed total bilirubin at 1.46 with direct at 0.36 and indirect at 1.10, SGOT at 22.90, and SGPT at 28.30. Ive been taking Rekool10 for a few months as well as avas 10 since February 2015 for cholesterol and olsartan AM 205. Should I be worried about my liver or these test results? How is this connected to my ongoing gastritis problem? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything here.

My husband has just been diagnosed with the initial stages of jaundice, and I'm really worried. Is it okay for us to have intercourse during this early phase of jaundice, or should we avoid it? Would really appreciate any advice you can give!
During the initial stages of jaundice, it's generally recommended to avoid intercourse. Here's why: _Jaundice Precautions_ 1. _Infection risk_: Jaundice can be a symptom of an underlying infection, such as hepatitis. Intercourse can increase the risk of transmission. 2. _Weakened immune system_: Jaundice can indicate a compromised liver function, which may weaken the immune system. Intercourse can further strain the body. 3. _Discomfort and fatigue_: Jaundice can cause discomfort, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. Intercourse may exacerbate these symptoms. _Precautions to Take_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Before resuming intercourse, consult with your husband's doctor to ensure it's safe. 2. _Practice safe sex_: Use condoms to minimize the risk of infection transmission. 3. _Monitor health_: Keep a close eye on your husband's health and adjust your decision accordingly.
