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.

View allI've been a bit worried since I recently had some blood work done. My total bilirubin was 1.77, so I took Livopill for 10 days, and my repeated test showed total bilirubin at 1.62, with DB at 0.63 and IDB at 0.99. The other results were total protein 7.6, serum albumin 4.9, globulin 2.7, AG ratio 1.8, SGOT 24, SGPT 25, alkaline phosphatase 92, GGTP 12, and my HBsAg was 0.24. Now, I've been told to take Ensules Plus for a month, but I feel this discomfort or pain just below my right rib. Should I be thinking about taking any other medication or is the pain something to worry about? Feeling a bit unsure about all this.
Your liver function tests show mild bilirubin elevation and normal liver enzymes, and the HbsAg result suggests you're not infected with hepatitis B; considering your symptoms and test results, consult your doctor about adding a liver protective supplement like silymarin or ursodeoxycholic acid to Ensules Plus, and for the rib pain, consider adding an antacid or acid reducer like omeprazole or ranitidine to alleviate discomfort, but only under medical guidance.

I have a 14mm gallstone but no pain right now. Allopathy doctors are recommending surgery to remove it. Can homeopathy actually cure this and how long would it take? Also, are there any good homeopathy doctors in NCR who can guarantee results? I've attached my ultrasound report for reference.
If you have a 14mm gallstone without pain, some homeopathic treatments might offer symptom management, but surgery is often recommended for larger stones or if symptoms develop. It's essential to consult with a qualified homeopath for personalized advice. As for doctors in NCR, you could seek out well-regarded specialists in gastroenterology or hepatobiliary surgery for the best advice on your treatment options.

I'm kind of worried because I think I swallowed a small chicken bone while eating yesterday. It doesn't hurt right now, but I'm not sure what to do. I've tried gargling and even eating a banana to see if it helps, but nothing's really working. Should I be doing something else, or is this a wait-it-out kind of thing? How serious could this be if it doesn't feel painful?
In this case, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent any complications. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods like yogurt or pudding to see if it helps dislodge the bone. However, if the bone is still stuck, do not delay in seeking medical help. I recommend you to go to the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
