Sometimes when I'm sleeping at night, my throat gets really dry, and in the morning, I notice a bad smell. I've also felt a bit of irritation in the middle of my chest while lying down. Plus, there's some sputum that comes up in the morning, but then it's gone for the rest of the day. What could be causing this?

View allI'm a bit worried about my liver function test results. My blood report shows an SGPT level of 107 UL and an SGOT level of 71 UL. I drink alcohol regularly, and my doctor recommended I take URSOCDL 300mg tablets. Could you please give me some advice on this?
Based on your liver function test results and history of frequent drinking, the doctor has prescribed you Tab Ursocol.

Additionally, it is important to reduce or stop alcohol consumption to support the treatment of your liver condition.

I've been struggling with this really intense hunger pain that just won't go away, and it's so bad it makes me feel like throwing up. I have this acid reflux thing too, and my bowel movements have been all over the place for months. I've been eating healthily, cutting out all the processed stuff, no soft drinks, nothing unhealthy, and I even started working out. But it still feels like my stomach can't digest food properly. The hunger pains hit me so hard even after eating. It's been like this for years, but the acid thing is kinda new. I'm 24, female, and a bit overweight. Any ideas about what's going on or what I should do?
Consider consulting a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and in the meantime, try keeping a food diary to track symptoms, eat smaller, more frequent meals, choose low-acid foods, avoid trigger foods, and consider probiotics or digestive enzymes to support gut health,

I'm a bit worried about my latest blood test results. My total bilirubin came back as 1.7. Is that considered high? Also, my SGPT and SGOT are both 20. Do these numbers mean I might have jaundice? I'm just trying to understand what's going on with my health.
Total bilirubin level of 1.7 is within the normal range (normal range: 0.3-1.9 mgdL). SGPT and SGOT levels of 20 are also within normal range. These values do not indicate jaundice. No treatment is required for these values.
