My doctors did a barium swallow x-ray and found I have esophagus spasms in the lower part, around 10 cm. They suggested dilation to clear it, but because of the narrowing, there's a risk of damage or a tear, which might need surgery. I'm not sure if I should go ahead with the procedure in my city, Ranchi, or seek treatment somewhere else. What would be the safer option given the risks?

View allI've been having some chest pain right in the center of my ribs, and it seems to come and go randomly, lasting just a few minutes each time. It's pretty weird because it also comes with these burps. It's not related to my workouts since I'm usually at the gym without any issues. What could be causing this?

I had jaundice 3 months ago but recovered 2 months back. Now I'm having upper stomach pain again, tests showed bilirubin at 3.4 and an ultrasound found 6mm gallstones. The doctor recommended gallbladder surgery - is there any way to treat this without surgery? Can these stones dissolve on their own?

I'm a bit concerned about my recent health check-up results. My SGPTALT came back at 46, which seems to be above the normal range, and my lipid profile is on the higher side too. Do you think I should be worried about this and possibly start some medication? Also, I'm curious about the role of eosinophils in the body. Could you give me some insight into what they do? I've attached the report for your reference.
Your SGPTALT level of 46 is slightly elevated, which could indicate mild liver stress or inflammation. Given the high lipid profile, it's important to focus on lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and regular exercise to manage your cholesterol. Medication may be considered if lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in immune responses, especially in allergic reactions and combating parasitic infections. It would be best to discuss your results with your doctor for a personalized plan.
