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.

View allSo I've been dealing with high SGPT and SGOT levels ever since I had jaundice about four months ago. They're still about 1.5 times the normal limit, and while my doctor mentioned they'll get better on their own, I'm a bit worried. I've got a pre-employment medical test coming up, and I'm wondering if this will be a problem. I don't drink or smoke, but I do cycle three times a week for half an hour and practice pranayama. Should I be concerned about my exercise routine affecting my liver enzyme levels?
Cycling and pranayama are generally beneficial for overall health. You do not need to stop exercising unless specifically advised by your doctor. However, it may be helpful to avoid intense or strenuous exercise that could potentially strain your liver. If you are looking to further support your liver health, you may consider taking a liver-protective medication like Liv.52, which contains natural ingredients that help improve liver function. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also aid in liver recovery.

I'm experiencing loose motion and some pain in my lower abdomen for around 36 hours now. I've also been having some gastric problems over the past few months. I do a lot of bike rides and spend long hours sitting and working on my laptop. Can you please suggest what might help?
It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with some digestive changes since my laparoscopic cholecystectomy a month ago. Now, every morning I'm usually going to the bathroom twice or even three times. What I find odd is that the first stool looks normal, but after I eat, the second one that comes out quickly, like within 15 or 20 minutes, is whitish. I recently got my liver profile checked, and my bilirubin is a bit high at 1.1 because of higher indirect bilirubin, and my ALT is 66. Although my appetite is good and digestion seems okay, I take Enzar Forte once at night after eating. I also have been taking Pan D in the morning on an empty stomach since being diagnosed with chronic gastritis from an endoscopy. Should I be worried about these symptoms? Is it something serious, or maybe related to my recent surgery?
-Your symptoms might be related to bile flow changes after gallbladder removal, which can sometimes cause variations in stool color and frequency. The slightly elevated bilirubin and ALT could warrant monitoring but don't seem alarming with your current d
