I'm really struggling with some severe issues related to eating, swallowing, and drinking. Every time I swallow anything, it feels like it hits a mass underneath my bra line, and this causes a lot of back pain and discomfort. I had my gallbladder removed four years ago, and I also have a hemangioma growing outside my liver. I'm really worried about these symptoms and looking for some advice on what might be going on. Could this be related to my past surgeries or the hemangioma? What should I do?

To help with swallowing and discomfort, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate any reflux symptoms. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (80mg) after meals to help with gas and bloating. It is important to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recently got my liver function test results and I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level came back at 49. Is that considered high? Should I be looking into any kind of treatment for this? Also, my SGOT level is 34. Could you help me understand if these numbers are something to be concerned about?
Your SGPT (49) is slightly elevated, as normal levels are typically below 40 UL. SGOT (34) is within the normal range. It's important to discuss this result with your doctor to understand the underlying cause, but mild elevations may not always require treatment. A healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise can help maintain liver health.
