I've recently found out that my SGPT level is 79.8 and my total cholesterol is 174.5. I'm a bit worried and would really like to bring the SGPT down. Do you have any recommendations on how I can manage these levels, particularly the SGPT? I've been reading up a bit and it's all a tad confusing, so some clear advice would be super helpful!

To lower your SGPT level, also known as ALT (alanine aminotransferase), you can take the following steps: - Avoid alcohol consumption. Maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. Avoid fatty, fried, and processed foods. Consider taking medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). To lower your total cholesterol level, you can follow a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet and increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

View allMy husband seems to be dealing with what we think is hyperacidity. Every 30 to 40 days, he gets this stomach pain, and if it gets worse, he ends up vomiting. Also, hes been noticing some small swollen balls near his anal area that burst after a day or two and then bleed. He cant wear tight jeans or pants either because they make his stomach hurt more. We're really worried and would love some insight on what might be going on and how we can manage or treat this. Any advice?

I'm dealing with some gas that's been trapped in my chest and upper back on the left side for the past two days, and it's making my chest feel really heavy. I've been taking pantoprazole 40mg to help with the gas since then, but it's just not clearing up this heaviness in my chest. Is there any medicine you can recommend that I can take right now? I already took pantoprazole at 8:30 am and had breakfast around 9:30 am. Would really appreciate some advice on what I can do next.

I was diagnosed with jaundice a few months back, and Im wondering if it's okay to start taking Himalaya Liv 52 now without checking with my doctor first. Could this help my liver recover, or should I be cautious about any risks?
It is generally safe to take Himalaya Liv 52 as a liver support supplement, even if you have a history of jaundice. The recommended dosage for Himalaya Liv 52 is usually 1-2 tablets twice a day. However, it is always best to consult with your general physician before starting any new medication or supplement, especially if you have a history of jaundice.
