Question 1

Hi doctor, my SGPT and SGOT levels are high, and Ive been told that I snore loudly and sometimes seem to stop breathing during sleep. What can I do to manage this and bring my levels under control?

Accepted Answer

High SGPT and SGOT levels, combined with loud snoring and breathing pauses, suggest potential liver issues and sleep apnea. It's important to address liver health through a balanced diet, hydration, and limiting alcohol, while seeking treatment for sleep apnea through lifestyle changes, weight management, and possibly using a CPAP machine. Please consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation and personalized plan.

Accepted Answer

Consult a pulmonologist in your home country for a thorough evaluation, and obtain a medical certificate, including a chest CT scan, sputum tests, and blood tests, confirming the TB is inactive, then, with this documentation, apply for a fitness certificate from the UAE embassy or consulate, which may require additional testing or documentation, to facilitate your return to Dubai

Question 3

My mother has been coughing for the last 3 weeks, and she's also noticed some blood in the cough. Her X-ray report shows slightly prominent upper broncho vascular markings on both lungs and a mildly raised cardio thoracic ratio. She's also having fev...

Accepted Answer

Given your mother's symptoms of a persistent cough, blood in the cough, fever, and breathing issues, along with the X-ray findings of prominent broncho-vascular markings and a mildly raised cardio-thoracic ratio, these could be concerning for a respiratory condition such as tuberculosis (TB) or other lung infections. It is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation, including sputum tests and possibly a CT scan, to confirm the diagnosis and start appropriate treatment.

Question 4

Im experiencing swelling in my lower rib muscles on the left side after an intense march past practice. The pain is really severe, and its hard to explain how bad it is. Can you suggest what I should do to manage this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles in your lower rib area from intense physical activity, like march past practice. I recommend resting, applying ice to reduce inflammation, and taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to see a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and treatment.

Question 5

I was recently diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma, and my doctor prescribed Foracort 200 brown inhaler. I've been using it for 5 days, but I havent noticed any improvement yet. How long does it usually take to see results?

Accepted Answer

It can take a few days to a couple of weeks to notice significant improvement with inhalers like Foracort 200, as they help reduce inflammation in the airways. If you're not feeling better soon, it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

The sharp pain on the lower left side of your chest could be related to muscle strain from holding urine or referred pain from your kidney stones. Given your history of gastritis, it's also possible that acid reflux or digestive issues could contribute. It would be best to consult a doctor to rule out any serious concerns and discuss your symptoms in detail.
