I've developed a swelling just below my ribs on the right side, and it's been really painful. Lately, I've also been experiencing shortness of breath, numbness in my hands, and frequent body aches. Could these symptoms be related? What could be causing all this?

Doctor, my SGOT is 53 and SGPT is 75, plus I have Gilbert syndrome and multiple gallstones with the largest being 7.2mm. I'm considering surgery but I'm a bit worried is it safe to go ahead with it given my condition?

Gilbert syndrome and mildly raised LFTs usually don’t cause surgical risk—discuss anesthesia clearance and hydration protocol with surgeon.

I'm experiencing some kind of white fluid coming out of my anus, and it's causing me really bad itching. It's not related to my bowel movements. What kind of doctor should I see about this?

It sounds like you might have an anal infection or a condition like a fistula. Please consult a **proctologist** or a **general surgeon** as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. Early care can relieve your symptoms and prevent complications.

I'm dealing with GERD issues and sometimes it feels like my breath gets stuck. To keep an eye on things, I've started using a pulse oximeter daily to check my oxygen level. But here's the thing, I'm getting some really weird readings. It starts at 98 or 99, but then after 20 to 30 seconds, it suddenly drops to numbers like 79, 89, or even 60, before going back up to 98 or 94. These abnormal readings only last for about 3 to 4 seconds. Other than this sensation like somethings stuck, I'm generally active and dont have other major issues. Should I be concerned about these fluctuating numbers, or is this normal with a pulse oximeter? What's going on?

Spirometry and pulmonary function tests is advised to the patient.
