I'm really worried because I've been feeling a lot of discomfort in my chest, especially at the back, and sometimes I even vomit blood. My appetite is almost gone, and there's this burning feeling in my chest and lower abdomen. What could be causing all this?

View allI'm really worried about my wife's kidney function test results. Her SGPT is at 322, SGOT is 206, GGT is 235, and ALP is 379. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and what we should do next?
The elevated liver enzymes (SGPT, SGOT, GGT, and ALP) indicate liver damage or inflammation, potentially due to hepatitis, fatty liver, or other conditions; schedule an immediate consultation with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss further testing (e.g., liver ultrasound, hepatitis screening), lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet, exercise), and possible treatment options to address the underlying cause.

I'm dealing with this really annoying problem where I seem to have way too much saliva all day long. Every morning I wake up, and my mouth is just full of it. It's been like this for over four years now, and it's super frustrating because if I try to swallow it, I feel really nauseous. I end up having to spit it out constantly. I'm just curious, are there any foods that might help with this issue, and what exactly could be causing this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Male Voice Feminization: Causes and Treatment Options_ I understand your concern, and it's essential to address this issue to improve your self-esteem and overall well-being. _Possible Causes:_ 1. _Hormonal Imbalance_: Elevated estrogen levels or low testosterone levels can cause voice feminization. 2. _Pubertal Development_: Delayed or incomplete pubertal development can lead to a higher-pitched voice. 3. _Vocal Cord Abnormalities_: Vocal cord lesions, nodules, or polyps can affect voice pitch and quality. 4. _Neurological Conditions_: Certain conditions, such as cerebral palsy or Parkinson's disease, can impact voice production. _Treatment Options:_ 1. _Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)_: If hormonal imbalance is the cause, HRT may help regulate hormone levels and deepen your voice. 2. _Voice Therapy_: A speech-language pathologist (SLP) can help you develop a more masculine voice through exercises and techniques. 3. _Surgery_: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove vocal cord lesions or modify the vocal cords to produce a deeper voice. 4. _Testosterone Therapy_: If low testosterone levels are contributing to your voice feminization, testosterone therapy may help. _Psychological Support:_ 1. _Counseling_: Consult a therapist or counselor to address depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns related to your voice. 2. _Support Groups_: Join online forums or support groups to connect with others who share similar experiences.

Can homeopathy actually cure Barrett's esophagus and how long does it usually take I was told surgery isn't needed and given sompraz but I'm curious if homeopathy has worked for others with this condition
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
