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've been dealing with navel displacement for a while now. It's causing me a lot of gastric heaviness and my stomach always feels bloated. Is there any way to fix this for good? Plus, I'm having trouble with not completely evacuating. What should I do?
Navel displacement can lead to gastric issues and bloating. To help with this condition, you can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) for bloating and Gas Relief. For incomplete evacuation, you can try a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) to help with bowel movements. Additionally, incorporating fiber supplements like Metamucil can also aid in improving bowel regularity. Remember to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
