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.

My sister has been dealing with dengue and fever for about six days now. Her blood test showed her SGPT level is at 432.80 and SGOT is 551.30. I'm really concerned about what this could mean. Could you explain the implications of these levels and any way we might be able to bring them down?

To help reduce these levels and support her liver function, she can take a medication called Liv 52. The recommended dosage is 2 tablets twice a day after meals. Additionally, she should drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid alcohol and fatty foods. It is important for her to follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of her condition.

I'm seeing blood in my mucus pretty often throughout the past month. I did a PT Prothrombin time test, and it was 15 seconds, which seems higher than the normal range of 14.4 seconds. But the INR is 1.17, which I think is okay. I'm wondering if the bleeding is linked to some liver issues or if having a PT of 15 seconds is still considered normal? Do you think I should go for a Liver Function Test (LFT) to check what's going on?

Yes LFT is advised to the patient.
