Sometimes when I'm sleeping at night, my throat gets really dry, and in the morning, I notice a bad smell. I've also felt a bit of irritation in the middle of my chest while lying down. Plus, there's some sputum that comes up in the morning, but then it's gone for the rest of the day. What could be causing this?

I'm really worried about my ALTSGPT level, which is at 65 UL, and my creatinine is 0.64 mgdL, with chloride at 100 mEqL. Are there any complications I should be aware of with these levels? Should I be thinking about getting more tests done, or maybe making some changes to my diet? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm experiencing a lot of burping and I seem to get short of breath. When I take an antacid and the gas goes away, my breathlessness seems to improve. Could GERD or the excessive burping be causing this breathlessness? It's a bit worrying, and I'd love to understand what's going on.
