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've just found out that my SGOT is 76 and my SGPT is 200, and it's got me worried. I'm currently on Udiliv 300. Are there any other steps or treatments you would suggest to help bring these levels down? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

To reduce elevated SGOT (76) and SGPT (200) levels, consider lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, avoiding alcohol, and eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and fiber

I've been diagnosed with pelvic descent and I'm not sure what to do about it. My main issue is that I don't pass stool completely even though I'm taking medicines like pegmove, duphalac, pruvict, lubbowel, cremaffin, etc. Nothing seems to help. Could this be because of pelvic descent? Would I need surgery for this and if so, what kind of surgery would it be?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really struggling with this pain I've had for a month now. I've seen several doctors, and they've given me tablets, but nothing seems to help. I don't have a cough or fever, just this persistent pain in my right upper abdomen. Sometimes the pain spreads to my back and other times to my right chest. I'm worried if I might have broken ribs or a liver issue. What do you think I should do?

it might be due to gastritis, take tablet pantop for 5 days
