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 just got my liver function test results back, and it says my alkaline phosphatase is at 133.8 UL, but the normal range is between 38.0 to 94.0. Should I be worried about this high level? What could it mean for my health?
Traveling after IVF transfer can be a concern. _General Guidelines_ 1. _Avoid heavy travel_: For 2-3 days after IVF transfer, minimize travel to reduce physical stress. 2. _Smooth roads preferred_: If you must travel, opt for smooth roads to minimize bumps and jolts. _Road Conditions and Travel_ 1. _Bad roads may not be ideal_: Avoid traveling on very bad roads, as the constant jolting can cause discomfort and potentially dislodge the embryo. 2. _Short distances might be okay_: If you must travel on bad roads, short distances (less than 2 hours) might be manageable, but exercise caution. _Precautions_ 1. _Wear a seatbelt_: Ensure your safety and the embryo's by wearing a seatbelt. 2. _Avoid bumpy roads_: If possible, take an alternate route with smoother roads. 3. _Stay hydrated and comfortable_: Drink plenty of water, and try to relax during the journey. _Consult Your IVF Specialist_ It's essential to follow your IVF specialist's specific advice, as they understand your individual situation and treatment plan. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your IVF treatment and the health of your embryo.

I'm kind of worried because I've had nosebleeds a couple of times now. The first time it happened was back in February, and then it happened again just this May, lasting about 5 minutes and around 34 drops. On top of that, I've been dealing with stomach pain before and after meals. I work at a power plant and usually eat at the office canteen. Do you think there's something serious going on?
The nosebleeds you are experiencing could be due to dry air or irritation in your nasal passages. To help with this, you can use a saline nasal spray like Nasoclear 2-3 times a day to keep your nasal passages moist. As for the stomach pain before and after eating, it could be related to gastritis or acid reflux. You can try taking an antacid like Mucaine Gel or Gelusil Syrup after meals to see if it helps with the pain. Since you work in a power plant, it's important to stay hydrated throughout the day and eat light, non-greasy meals to avoid exacerbating your stomach issues. If the symptoms persist, it's recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with this internal cold and sore throat for a couple of months now, and on top of that, I've got gas problems that are causing constipation. It feels like my belly is constantly filled with gas, and it's really making life hard for me. I've tried some medicines like some kind of pauladom and lanol, and they helped for a while with the gas. But then it all started up again, and now my doctor has me on some sinno spray for the cold and rablet. Could you help me understand what these symptoms might be all about?
When higher antibiotics are taken they kill the normal flora of the gut, and cause irregular bowel movements. They also cause gastritis. For this you will have to take a course of probiotics. Also other causes for irregular bowel movements and gastritis like malabsorption syndromes, metabolic disorders, crohns disease, ulcerative colitis will have to be looked at. So kindly consult a nearby general surgeon for your abdomen problems and ENT specialist for cold and sore throat. You might be started on proton pump inhibitors and probiotics for the same.
