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 wife Rita Datta is 58 and from Kolkata. She's been dealing with indigestion and loss of appetite, which has led to a lot of weight loss. A gastroenterologist at Peerless Hospital suggested an USG, and the report showed a large mass pushing her left kidney and spleen. They recommended a CT scan, which we did, and the gastrosurgeon advised immediate surgery. We've attached all the reports could you take a look and let us know what you think? We're really worried and not sure what the next steps should be

I can understand your concern. You haven't attached any reports as such with this question here. Also, why did you change doctors? And if immediate surgery is required, then i think you should get the surgery done. Consult a gastroenterologist in person for further evaluation and management

You can use Anovate cream for local application to reduce pain and inflammation. Apply a small amount of cream on the affected area twice daily after cleaning the area. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and consume a high-fiber diet to help with your condition.
