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'm dealing with a stone at the neck of my gallbladder that's causing a lot of swelling. The doctor mentioned that an operation can't be done right now because of this swelling. I'm in a lot of pain and not sure what options I have. Is there anything else that can be done to help with the pain or reduce the swelling?
-It sounds really uncomfortable, and I'm sorry you're dealing with this. For now, you can try managing the pain with medications prescribed by your doctor, stay on a low-fat diet to reduce strain on your gallbladder, and stay hydrated. Follow up regularly

I'm kind of worried because I've had nosebleeds a couple of times now. The first time it happened was back in February, and then it happened again just this May, lasting about 5 minutes and around 34 drops. On top of that, I've been dealing with stomach pain before and after meals. I work at a power plant and usually eat at the office canteen. Do you think there's something serious going on?
The nosebleeds you are experiencing could be due to dry air or irritation in your nasal passages. To help with this, you can use a saline nasal spray like Nasoclear 2-3 times a day to keep your nasal passages moist. As for the stomach pain before and after eating, it could be related to gastritis or acid reflux. You can try taking an antacid like Mucaine Gel or Gelusil Syrup after meals to see if it helps with the pain. Since you work in a power plant, it's important to stay hydrated throughout the day and eat light, non-greasy meals to avoid exacerbating your stomach issues. If the symptoms persist, it's recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation.
