I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?

Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

I'm a bit concerned about my health right now. I've been dealing with some pain in my waist and had typhoid fever recently. I just got my blood tests back, and my SGOT is at 59 while my SGPT is at 64. I'm wondering if these levels are something I should be worried about. Does this mean there's a big problem, or could it be related to the fever? Would really appreciate some advice on this.

Why do only some people get anal fissures from occasional hard stool when everyone experiences it at least once? Is there something different about their anal structure? I've had LIS surgery but still worry can the tendency to develop fissures from hard stool be completely eliminated like it is for others?

I've just gotten my LFT and Lipid profile test results, and I'm kind of worried because the numbers seem high. My total bilirubin is at 2.1 mgdl, direct bilirubin is 0.5 mgdl, and the indirect bilirubin is 1.6 mgdl. Can you help me understand what these high values mean? Should I be concerned?

Based on these results, you may benefit from taking Ursodeoxycholic acid to help lower your bilirubin levels.
