My friend was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia after an endoscopy, and the doctor mentioned surgery isn't needed but suggested an anti-reflux mucosectomy procedure using a laser. He's been dealing with chest pain and breathing issues because of the hernia would this endoscopic treatment actually help relieve his symptoms? Is it worth considering?

View allI'm looking at my recent blood test results and I'm a little worried. My SGOT AST levels are at 81, and the lab report says it should be between 15 and 37 UL.

I'm really worried about my father. Weve used Dizone 250 mg before to help him stop drinking and it worked, but we stopped it for a year and he started wanting to drink again. We gave him one tablet with dinner and after a few days he felt really uneasy and started vomiting, just like last time. This time though, he had some blood in his vomit, which didnt happen before. Is it normal for this medicine to cause blood in vomit or should we be concerned about something else? I'm really worried about the blood part.
, forceful vomit may cause rupture of thin vein or capillary so vomiting may be occurred. Diazon is disulfiram an antialcoholic agent so it works.
