I'm feeling pretty nervous lately, and I'm not sure why. About a week ago, I went to a gastro specialist because I was really bloated. I noticed the bloating happens whenever I have dairy products, which is still an issue now. I've attached my blood test results, and they show that my LDL and NON-HDL levels are high. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take?

From your blood test results showing high LDL and NON HDL levels, along with your symptoms of bloating and nervousness, it is important to address your cholesterol levels and digestive issues. To lower your LDL and NON HDL levels, I recommend starting a medication called Atorvastatin. Additionally, since you are experiencing bloating with dairy products, you can try taking a lactase enzyme supplement like Lactaid before consuming dairy to help with digestion. It is also advisable to follow a low-cholesterol diet and engage in regular physical activity to improve your overall health. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.

I'm having this really annoying issue where every time I go to the bathroom, my anus gets super itchy. It's so bad that I find it really hard not to scratch it. Why is it so itchy and what can I do to stop it?
The persistent itchy anus, especially after wiping, could be caused by anal fissures, hemorrhoids, skin tags, or conditions like pruritus ani, psoriasis, or eczema; other possible causes include poor hygiene, excessive wiping, or irritation from soaps, wipes, or toilet paper; to alleviate the itch, try applying cool compresses, using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, and avoiding scratching; consider consulting a gastroenterologist,
