I am trying to keep my liver enzymes in normal range for upcoming blood test?

I am trying to keep my liver enzymes in normal range for upcoming blood test. They were normal in April – AST was 32, ALT was 28, at that time I was drinking maybe 4 or 5 pints of beer on weekends. Since, I have been consuming a bit more, only on weekends (6-10 pints on weekends). My blood test is next Friday (8 days from now), and I have not had any alcohol since sunday (4 days ago). Is it likely my liver levels will rise from this? Or generally remain in the same range? I am a healthy male, 44 yrs….I am not over weight and exercise daily.

I have been suffering from a range of problems, my GP says it is mental, need second opinion?

For the last few years I have been suffering from a range of problems. Mostly mental things like brain fog, confusion, inability to focus and think straight. Also a lot of muscle aches and weakness. I find it particularly hard to walk up and down stairs because my legs and lower back seem weak and wobbly and I have difficultly balancing/controlling movement. I also often drop things especially when feeling particularly weak. I am lethargic, shaky and sometimes get a tightness in chest/restrictive feeling in throat. This seems strange for someone who is relatively young, fit and healthy. I recently got blood test results from my GP who tells me it is all in my head since nothing is showing up in blood tests. I have had full blood count, iron, b12, glucose, liver function, thyroid function, CRP and ESR. All are normal. I had slightly low vit D about 6 months ago despite being the outdoorsy type but I have been having a D3 supplement since then to treat that. Is there anything else that could be wrong with me that wouldn’t be showing up on these tests? I will be looking for a new GP soon but I need to know what sort of things to ask them. I really feel that there is something seriously wrong. Surely a 30 year old woman should not be such a physical and mental cripple! I also often get things like coughing up greenish grey sticky gunk in the mornings and pustules on face and in hair and shoulder and bottom. It seems like at least once a month I get swollen lymph nodes and am also prone to abscesses under arms and in groin area. These aren’t as worrisome as other symptoms but I am just generally pale, weak, tired and unwell!

I have problems sleeping, what is wrong?

So about 3 weeks ago I was having problems sleeping, I though it was just because I was not doing anything during the day, so my energy was stored, so I did, and it worked, but now I’m having the same problem, like I get so close to falling asleep, then I think of falling asleep, and wake up again, so now I kinda just think it’s a mental thing.
No one in my family has this problem, my doc said that I was really low in vitamin D and Iron, if that helps and I have never had problems sleeping until now and it’s making me want to cry and be sad, I love sleeping I don’t know what to do. Please help me. I don’t want to take sleeping pills as a 18 year old should not help to sleep.
Please help me I’m desperate, just finished my period too, but I don’t think I had it last time I was having this problem – I tried to be my own doctor with Google but I thought I should just ask I professional… they don’t have medicare here so it’s like 140 to visit a doctor.. :,( and also, I don’t think insomnia just comes on ( or does it) when in my whole life I have never had problems, I just think there might be a reason, and I pray to God I want to fix it..

I have extreme pain in my lower right abdomen, ER doctor says it is a cyst?

Extreme pain in my lower right abdomen started in March. After 2 visits to ER, 1 visit to OBGYN, 1 visit to Primary care phys and then admitted to Hospital I’m still in pain. ER said it is the cyst, appendix was ruled out. OBGYN said its too small to be causing my extreme pain. Hospital did check gallbladder, did an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Some minor issues were found in GI but nothing significant. My pain in my lower right abdomen is unbearable. Tramadol was prescribed, but does nothing. Other symptoms included: constant nausea, constipation, pain in my mid and lower back down into my butt and hips. Pain in lower abdomen sometimes hurts on both sides now. At times I feel pressure in my entire abdomen. Spend days with heat packs wrapped around me laying in bed or sitting in a warm tub. It has completely disabled me from any normal function during the day except to concentrate on alleviating the pain. I have had 4 menstrual cycles since this began and it hasn’t gotten any better. I have Factor V Lieden, which caused 3 miscarriages over ten years ago, but not sure if this is an issue. I need some direction before I loose my mind to the pain.

My 2 year old daughter cannot walk, doctors baffled?

My daughter turned 2 recently and she is finding it extremely difficult walking by her self, however she is able to stand with support and is able to walk using objects like tables or chairs. I have taken her to a few doctors who seem baffled, she has very poor lower limb movement and strength. The size of her lower limb are disproportionate to her upper body, she has no muscle mass in her legs and they may have begun to atrophy? she also has hypermobility in her knees which is also affecting her lower limbs, and walking.
Tests completed:
1. Nerve conduction Studies: very poor results in legs.
2. MRI Spine (under G.A) did not find anything.
3. Blood tests all good!

My name is (…) 43 years old. Male. Living in (…) I am slightly obese and had a H. pylori Infection 4 years back with a new Streptococcus infection 30 days ago. Treated by antibiotics.

I suffer from a Vocal Cord Dysfunction, my vocal cords constrict…can’t breath?

I am a 39 yr old male, and I have a question about Vocal Cord Dysfunction, that I suspect I may be suffering from.
I have read that the standard discription of VCD is that when you have a bout of it, you can’t breath for up to half a minute.
My problem is that every once in a while my vocal cords constrict, upon inhaling, but only for about half a second. Can this also be a symptom of Vocal Cord Dysfunction? My throat usually gets tight just before, and suddenly my throat (vocal cords) close up for a short moment. I can there after breath normally. It isn’t something that scares me, but it’s very irritating and frustrating not knowing what it is and what causes it. Thank you! God bless!

I have diabetes and feel light headed almost every day, what is wrong?

I have diabetes and take medication. Often every day I feel kind of light headed. I also get – at times – a kind of shaky feeling. When that happens I usually head towards the fridge to have some juice and eat some food asap. As soon as I eat or drink I start to feel better. What is wrong? Is this a diabetic reaction? Please advise.
