I would like to find the root cause for the same along with medication or lifestyle changes, if any, required in my case.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. In addressing eosinophilia, it is crucial to identify and eliminate any allergies or worms if symptoms such as an itchy nose, sneezing, wheezing, breathing issues, rash, or abdominal pain are present. For low Vitamin D, a recommendation of 1250 mcg of vitamin D once a week for 12 weeks is suggested. However, it is important to consult with a doctor, discuss the situation with them, and obtain their consent before initiating any medication. Regarding the urine test, repeating it in 3 months is advised as single-time results should not be solely relied upon. To provide appropriate treatment for cholesterol, knowledge of blood pressure (BP) is required. A reading of 5.12/3.15 inches of mercury (in Hg) was mentioned, and it is necessary to determine if this has been consistent or if higher numbers were observed. The ultrasound findings indicate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a condition resulting from fat deposition in the liver. Further investigations for hepatitis B and C, as well as additional testing, may be recommended if agreed upon. It is relevant to know if alcohol consumption is involved. With a (BMI) body mass index of 31 is high, which indicates a high body weight, a weight loss of at least 22.05 lb is advised. Lastly, unless the umbilical hernia causes discomfort, there is typically no need for immediate concern.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Please also reply on my USG spleen and feces examination. I had breathing issues for around two to three days in the last month, but it went off on its own. I had abdominal pain as well, thought it would be a stone problem. I had kidney stones earlier, had taken some ayurveda medicines and it was cured. But, it was not there in the recent test. So, I do not know what was the reason, but it went on its own. No, there is no BP issue I have ever observed. Even in stress test doctor who did the test was saying my BP is well below the limits. Please suggest the tests to be done for hepatitis B and C. No, I do not drink alcohol and no tobacco as well. Yes, I would like to reduce my weight. Please help me regarding that. My hernia does not even bother me, but is it necessary to be removed. Will it cause any damage in the future?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  • Repeat the CBC (complete blood count) again when doing the urine test, meanwhile take any anti-allergy if you have symptoms.
  • I suggest you to take Atorvastatin 80 mg daily to regulate cholesterol. Repeat the cholesterol in six months in fasting.
  • No, you do not have to remove the hernia if not bothering you.
  • The stool exam looks normal and I would not worry about.
  • Now, for weight loss, give me a detailed report about what you eat or drink in 24 hours (be honest). I will make a plan for you.
  • Your BP looks good and yes, I saw two normal readings would be enough.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
