So I've been dealing with high SGPT and SGOT levels ever since I had jaundice about four months ago. They're still about 1.5 times the normal limit, and while my doctor mentioned they'll get better on their own, I'm a bit worried. I've got a pre-employment medical test coming up, and I'm wondering if this will be a problem. I don't drink or smoke, but I do cycle three times a week for half an hour and practice pranayama. Should I be concerned about my exercise routine affecting my liver enzyme levels?

Cycling and pranayama are generally beneficial for overall health. You do not need to stop exercising unless specifically advised by your doctor. However, it may be helpful to avoid intense or strenuous exercise that could potentially strain your liver. If you are looking to further support your liver health, you may consider taking a liver-protective medication like Liv.52, which contains natural ingredients that help improve liver function. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also aid in liver recovery.

View allYou know, I've been noticing something strange the past couple of weeks. Every time I eat something a bit oily, like in certain sabjis, or even just drink a not-too-cold cold drink, I get this shortness of breath. It's been really concerning for me. I've tried using DSR and gesowel, and they seem to give me a bit of relief, but I'm still worried. I'm wondering if exercise might help with this. Could something like jogging or walking be beneficial? I've gained some weight since I'm mostly inactive due to my job, so I'm a bit obese now. Any advice on how to handle this situation?

I've been having this pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a week. At first, I thought it might just be gas pains and noticed I've been a bit constipated, so I took some stool softeners. But now, my stool has turned a light clay color. I read somewhere that this could be linked to gallstones. I tried to find out if the stool color change might be due to the stool softeners, but I couldn't find much information. Should I be worried and see a doctor right away, or should I wait to see if it continues?
Light clay-colored stool can indicate several possibilities: Common Causes 1. Stool softeners (as you suspected) 2. Malabsorption (e.g., lactose intolerance, celiac disease) 3. Bile duct obstruction (unlikely with stool softeners) 4. Gastrointestinal infections (e.g., giardiasis) 5. Medication side effects (e.g., antibiotics, antacids) When to Seek Medical Attention 1. Persistent or worsening abdominal pain 2. Diarrhea or vomiting 3. Blood in stool or vomit 4. Fever above 101.5F (38.6C) 5. Significant weight loss 6. Persistent clay-colored stool beyond 2 weeks SELF CARE 1. Continue stool softeners only if prescribed. 2. Monitor stool color, consistency, and frequency. 3. Maintain a balanced diet. 4. Stay hydrated.

My mom's gallbladder shows an 11mm size but she has no symptoms at all should we consider surgery or can it resolve on its own? What are the best ways to clear the gallbladder naturally?
If your mom has an 11 mm gallstone but no symptoms (asymptomatic), surgery is usually not needed right away. Many people live without issues, but regular monitoring is advised. Gallstones typically don't dissolve on their own, and "natural" remedies are not proven to clear them. Surgery is considered only if symptoms develop.
