My dad's been dealing with this really painful crunch feeling in his stomach that sometimes moves to his back and ribs. He's tried seeing a lot of doctors, but nothing seems to help much. At first, he was on mabicon, rifagut, rablet, and pregeb M 75, but now he's taking drotin and nexpro 20. Sadly, none of this seems to be working, and the doctors are now suggesting an endoscopy. I'm really worried and was wondering if we should go ahead with the endoscopy or try something else. Are these medicines he's taking okay? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Optimal Timing for B12 Injections_

The best time to take a B12 injection is in the morning, as it can help increase energy levels throughout the day. Additionally, taking it in the morning may help minimize any potential sleep disturbances.

Potential Side Effects

B12 injections are generally considered safe, but some people may experience:

Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site

Fatigue

Headache

Dizziness

Nausea

Diarrhea

These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

Interactions with Other Medications

B12 injections are unlikely to interact with your diabetes medications, Tab Zitten (20mg) and Razel (5mg). However, it's essential to inform your doctor about all medications you're taking to ensure safe treatment.

Specific Considerations

Monitor your blood sugar levels closely, as B12 injections may affect glucose metabolism.

Inform your doctor if you experience any changes in your blood sugar levels or any other concerns.

I've just got my routine check-up results, and everything seems normal except for a mild fatty liver grade 1. I'm a bit concerned because my SGOT is at 257 and SGPT is 93. All other tests, including the urine test, came back normal. Could you help me understand what this might mean and if I should be worried?
