I'm experiencing these random single hiccups scattered throughout the daylike just one hiccup at a time but occurring maybe 10 or 15 times daily. They're quiet too. I've noticed them every day for the past three weeks. I know I have acid reflux and anxiety, but aside from that, I'm a healthy and active 23-year-old female. I'm really curious if having just one hiccup multiple times a day is considered persistent. Can you shed some light on this?

Single, random hiccups throughout the day arent typically classified as persistent hiccups, which usually last over 48 hours continuously. However, since theyve been ongoing daily for weeks, its worth discussing with a doctor, especially given your acid reflux and anxiety, as these could be contributing factors.

View allI've just found out that my bilirubin levels, including total, direct, and indirect, are all high, and my homocysteine levels are elevated too. Should I be worried about this, and what could it mean for my health? What steps should I take, or what lifestyle changes might help manage these levels better?
Bilirubin count total, direct, indirect are high. Homocysteine level is high. High bilirubin levels can indicate liver or bile duct issues. You can take Ursodiol 300mg to help lower bilirubin levels. For high homocysteine levels, you can take Folic Acid 1mg along with Vitamin B6 25mg and Vitamin B12 1000mcg to help lower homocysteine levels. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging.

I'm having my meals at 11am and 7pm, but I skip eating in the afternoon. Around 3pm, I start feeling like my food isn't completely digested, and I'm taking unienzyme tablets twice a day for it. Do you think it's okay for me to take the unienzyme a third time around 3pm to help with this?
break down your CBC (Complete Blood Count) results: *Results Analysis* 1. *PDW (Platelet Distribution Width)*: 17.1 (Normal range: 10-17) - Your PDW is slightly elevated, indicating a possible variation in platelet size. 2. *WBC (White Blood Cell) Count*: 11.4 (Normal range: 4-9) - Your WBC count is elevated, suggesting a possible infection, inflammation, or stress response. 3. *HCT (Hematocrit)*: 41.8 (Normal range: 34-38) - Your HCT is slightly elevated, indicating a possible increase in red blood cell concentration. *Suggestions* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your results with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of these abnormalities. 2. *Infection or inflammation check*: Your doctor may recommend further tests to check for underlying infections or inflammation. 3. *Stress management*: Engage in stress-reducing activities, as stress can contribute to elevated WBC counts. 4. *Hydration*: Ensure adequate hydration to help maintain healthy blood cell counts. 5. *Follow-up tests*: Schedule follow-up tests to monitor your blood cell counts and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

I've been dealing with a chronic fissure for the past 5 months and really want to avoid surgery can Ayurvedic treatment help me heal completely? I'm worried about the pain and looking for a natural solution
Chronic fissures can often be managed with Ayurvedic or conservative treatments, but long-term healing depends on severity. Surgery may be needed if symptoms persist despite natural approaches.
