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 drinking whisky regularly, usually two pegs a day. Recently though, even when I have just one peg, my eyes turn red, and my head feels strained. It's gotten me a bit worried, so I've stopped drinking for now. Could you explain what's going on and if there's any medicine I could take for this?

I have a 19mm gallbladder stone and my diabetes is really high at 308. Doctors are suggesting gallbladder removal but I'm worried about the risks at my age. Is there a way to dissolve these stones naturally without surgery? I'd really like to avoid going under the knife if possible.
