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 allMy dad has a 7mm gallbladder stone is there any treatment to cure it without surgery or is surgery the only option?
For a 7mm gallbladder stone, while non-surgical treatments are possible, surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the preferred and most effective way to remove the stone and prevent future problems. Non-surgical options, like medication to dissolve the stone or shock wave lithotripsy, are less common and may not be suitable for all cases

I've been dealing with this regular mild chest pain that's been moving aroundsometimes it's in my upper abdomen, other times it shifts to the left or right side. I've gone through all the tests like ECG, chest X-ray, lipid profile, USG of the abdomen, thyroid checks, and even had my RBC and WBC levels looked at, and everything came out normal. The doctors said it could be gas-related and suggested PAN 40, which I've been taking, but the pain hasn't really gone away. I havent had any fever since this started happening. Could you advise on what medicine might actually help with this?
Since you have already been taking PAN 40 regularly for your mild chest pain which is suspected to be due to gas, but have not found relief, I would recommend adding another medication to help with your symptoms. You can try taking **Ranitidine (Zantac)** 150mg twice daily before meals. This medication can help further reduce the production of stomach acid and alleviate your discomfort. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided on the packaging. Additionally, continue to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your doctor if the pain persists or worsens.
