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 usually avoid eating fruits because I'm not a fan, but the other day my friend's mom insisted that I try some papaya. Now, I'm dealing with a pretty bad stomachache and I feel bloated. Do you think the stomach pain is from eating the papaya? How can I get some relief and feel better soon?
Actually pappaya is good for health but some are irratable to pappaya , if you get same symptoms next its better to avoid rather than taking medicines

I'm experiencing a burning sensation on the right side of my abdomen, and my bowel movements aren't clear. I've also been feeling feverish, dealing with headaches, and having gas issues for about a month now. These symptoms keep coming and going. I have hypothyroidism and I'm currently taking RabletD and thyroxine. Could these be related, or is there something else I should be worried about?
You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux, which can be common in individuals with hypothyroidism. To help with the burning sensation in your right side abdomen, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Rabeprazole (brand name: Rabicip) along with domperidone (brand name: Domstal) for better relief. Additionally, for your gas problem, you can take simethicone (brand name: Colicaid) to help alleviate symptoms. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet, avoid spicy and acidic foods, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's been quite concerning for me. I've had pain on the left side of my chest and abdomen, and sometimes the pain radiates from one side to the other, even to the back of my chest. This has been happening for about 15 days now, and the pain seems to come and go in both my chest and abdomen. Sometimes it feels like it's in different spots, maybe the left side, and then suddenly it's on the right. I haven't noticed any cold or fever, which makes me even more curious about what's really going on. I'm currently taking these medications: Normaxin RT, Tryptomer 10 mg, Abphyline, Netova 400, and Covifit. I just received test results back, and the sputum for AFB test is negative. Could you please help me understand what might be causing all this?
take one painkiller and one antacid . it will reduce your pain
