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 having this issue where my stool has undigested food in it for about a month now, and I'm also experiencing a burning feeling when I pee. My urine culture test showed E. Coli, but apparently, the colony count is low. Are these two problems connected? Could the UTI be causing the undigested food situation, or are they unrelated? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Possible Causes_ 1. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Strained or pulled muscles in the abdominal or intercostal areas, especially if you've recently increased gym intensity. 2. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Gallbladder problems, liver issues, or gastrointestinal inflammation (e.g., gastritis) could cause discomfort under the right rib. 3. _Other possible causes_: Pneumonia, pleurisy, or costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone) might also contribute to this discomfort. _Whom to Consult_ 1. _Primary Care Physician (PCP)_: - Schedule an appointment with your PCP to discuss your symptoms and medical history. - They'll evaluate your overall health and refer you to a specialist if needed. 2. _Gastroenterologist_: - If your PCP suspects a gastrointestinal issue, they might refer you to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. 3. _Orthopedic Specialist or Sports Medicine Doctor_: - If your PCP believes the discomfort is related to a musculoskeletal issue, they might recommend consulting an orthopedic specialist or sports medicine doctor. _Before Consulting a Doctor_ 1. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of when the discomfort occurs, how long it lasts, and any factors that relieve or exacerbate it. 2. _Gym activities_: Inform your doctor about your gym routine, including any recent changes or intense workouts.
