I've been feeling a heaviness in my chest after I eat, and it sometimes feels like food is stuck in my throat for a few hours after. It's kinda uncomfortable and I'm worried about what's causing it. Could this be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for why this is happening?

I had an endoscopy done and attached the images. Can you suggest any medications to help tighten my LES? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I can try first? I'm really worried about this and not sure what to do next.

I recently went for a routine health check-up and everything seemed fine, but I'm a bit worried about my ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE or ALTSGPT levels. The result came back as 131, whereas I read the normal range is supposed to be between 21 and 72. My SGOT level was 52. I've heard that these tests are connected to liver health. Should I be concerned about these results? What are some effective ways to lower my ALTSGPT levels? The test was done using UV with P5P.

if you have jaundice and liver fibrosis then you have to worry otherwise high sgpt and sgot can be reversed

I've been dealing with hepatitis B for a while and I'm currently on tenvir. I've also been struggling with acne and was thinking about trying resoten 20 mg capsules. I'm a bit worried if it's safe to take this medication along with tenvir. Is it okay to use both, or could there be any complications?
