Question 1

I'm having a problem where I need to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times every morning, and it's not a complete bowel movement. This has been happening since I was born. Whenever I have to leave the house early, I take an Eldoper tablet to prevent more bathroom trips. I'm worried if taking Eldoper could seriously affect my liver. How should I handle this situation?

Accepted Answer

Tenting of the left diaphragm (Grade 1) is a mild abnormality that can be caused by:

*Possible Causes*

1. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
2. Hiatal hernia
3. Diaphragmatic eventration (a congenital condition)
4. Abdominal muscle weakness

*Effects and Symptoms*

1. Mild shortness of breath
2. Chest discomfort or pain
3. Difficulty swallowing
4. Regurgitation of food

*Relation to the Heart*

Tenting of the diaphragm is not directly related to heart problems. However, in some cases, it can be associated with conditions that affect the heart, such as:

1. Pericarditis (inflammation of the heart sac)
2. Cardiac tamponade (fluid accumulation in the heart sac)

*Next Steps*

Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine the best course of action. They may recommend:

1. Further imaging tests (e.g., CT scan, MRI)
2. Endoscopy or gastroscopy
3. Pulmonary function tests
4. Monitoring and follow-up appointments

Question 3

My mom has gallstones that are 34mm in size can they be treated with medications or will she need surgery

Accepted Answer

For gallstones of 34mm, surgery is generally recommended, rather than medication. While medications can sometimes be used to dissolve cholesterol stones, this is not a reliable approach for large stones or stones causing symptoms.

I've just found out that my SGOT is 76 and my SGPT is 200, and it's got me worried. I'm currently on Udiliv 300. Are there any other steps or treatments you would suggest to help bring these levels down? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

To reduce elevated SGOT (76) and SGPT (200) levels, consider lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, avoiding alcohol, and eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and fiber
