I've just had a liver function test done and noticed that my SGPT level is at 81, which I understand is higher than the usual range. I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this and if it means I need to start taking any medication. Could this possibly be related to my weight, or might something else be causing it?

An SGPT level of 81 above the normal range can indicate liver damage or inflammation. It is important to further investigate the cause of this elevation. In your case, obesity can contribute to liver issues. To address this, you can start with lifestyle modifications such as weight loss through diet and exercise.

I'm trying to figure out what's better for my abdominal cramps. My uncle told me about Normaxin, but I've been taking Buscopan for a while now. I'm a 40-year-old guy and I'm confused about which one would be more effective for me. Could you help me decide which is the better option?
Both Normaxin (Dicyclomine + Simethicone) and Buscopan (Hyoscine Butylbromide) are antispasmodics used to relieve abdominal cramps; however, Buscopan is generally considered a better choice for abdominal cramps due to its targeted action on smooth muscle relaxation, whereas Normaxin also contains Simethicone, which is primarily used for gas and bloating relief;

I've been dealing with a pretty concerning issue of drooling in my sleep, and a friend mentioned it might be due to worms in my stomach or intestines. So I'm a bit worried and have a few questions about this. Is it really possible that worms could be causing the drooling? Also, it's quite severe for me, so how can I reduce or even completely stop this drooling problem? And if worms are the issue, what's the best way to get rid of them? Are deworming tablets a permanent solution, or should I consider an ayurvedic option?
Drooling while sleeping is usually not caused by worms in the body. It could be due to issues like nasal congestion, sleeping position, or excessive saliva production. To reduce drooling, try sleeping on your side and address any nasal blockages. For worms, de-worming tablets can be effective, but it's important to follow up with your doctor for the best treatment plan. Ayurveda can also be an option, but consult a healthcare professional before starting any alternative treatment.
