Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 30 year old male. My weight is 189 pounds and my height is five feet and eight inches. I am non-smoker and I do not drink alcohol. My problems are gas formation, uneasy feeling after meals and lack of energy. My bowel does not get cleared properly and I feel too much tired after hard work. My heart beat become too fast during this time. I also have breathing problems after running. I have attached my recent blood test report for your reference. Please check and help me with your suggestion.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and your complaints. It seems that you are suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It is accumulation of fat within liver cells which is linked to being obese or overweight. Having fat in liver is normal, but more than 5 to 10 percent fat is called fatty liver disease. SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) and SGPT (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) are raised in this condition. Your lipids are also deranged. You need to decrease your weight, follow diet modification and regular exercise. I suggest you to take tablet Atorvastatin 10 mg (atrovastatin calcium trihydrate) once daily. Follow regular monitoring of blood sugar and reporting. If you maintain the above instructions then it can be reversed. Report back to me with the progress after 15 days.I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards.

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