Why do I sweat excessively on my palms and the soles of my feet? I also have high cholesterol and my triglycerides are 216. Could these be related?

Sweaty palms/soles means perhidrosis. Not related to cholesterol/triglycerides. Triggered by stress, anxiety, heat. Triglycerides 216 needs lifestyle changes. Repeat Lipid Profile after 3 months.

I have been suffering from jaundice for the past 7 weeks. Initially, my bilirubin was 10?mg/dL. After 4 weeks, it decreased to 2.08?mg/dL, but now it has increased again to 2.3?mg/dL. My SGOT and SGPT levels have also risen. Could you please advise how to bring my bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT back to normal?

I have been experiencing a cold for the last five years, and my doctor advised that I may need to manage it long term. My recent blood tests show Hb 13.8 gm, TLC 16,100/cu mm, Neutrophils 87, Lymphocytes 10, Eosinophils 1, Basophils 0, and ESR 25 mm in the first hour. My biochemistry report shows SGPT/ALT 62.6 U/L and SGOT/AST 71.2 U/L. The doctor has recommended a work up for eosinophilia. Could you please review these results and advise on the next steps?
