Question

My dad has been feeling nauseous and vomiting all day but his sonography and CT scan came back normal. His creatinine is 1.92 and endoscopy showed acid reflux. He has a pacemaker from 2014 and had bypass surgery in 2008. Right now his cardiologist has him on three meds for acid reflux Zofer, Rantac 300, and Pantocid. Is this the right treatment or should one of Rantac or Pantocid be stopped? Could there be a better option?

In this case, nausea and reflux may be related to kidney function or meds. Zofer (ondansetron) is okay short term. Only one PPI (Pantocid) is usually needed—consult for drug interaction review.

Question

I've been experiencing stomach pain in the upper left area, and it seems to get worse after I eat or walk more than usual. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's really uncomfortable, especially with the gas problem I have. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I can do to relieve the pain?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my recent blood test showed that my SGOT is 98 and my SGPT is 133, which I know is higher than usual. What can I do to lower these levels and get them back to normal?

Question

I'm looking at my lab results, and I'm a bit concerned. My total bilirubin is at 1.69 with indirect at 1.36 and direct at 0.33, and my SGPT is 57. Should I be worried about these numbers? Do you think it's necessary for me to consult a doctor? Any advice would be really helpful!
