Why do I have increased levels of cholesterol, LDL (low density lipoprotein), SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) and SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase)?

Hello doctor,

I had been advised by my doctor to get a few tests done. My laboratory results have come and I am worried about the cholesterol and liver enzymes results. I am currently on tablet Effexor XR (Venlafaxine) medication. As my general physician is not available, can you please suggest on this?

Swollen tongue, feet with kidney, diabetes history. Help?

Hello doctor,

I have swelling on my feet and tongue as well. KFT report was normal only my creatinin was 1.6 mg/dL . It is a chronic problem. I have already used Lasilactone 50 mg and Torsemide 10 mg. But no relief. I use insulin Mixtard 40 units twice and Galvus Met 50/850 1 bd for my diabetes type 2. Maybe Galvus is causing swelling so I stopped it recently and want to switch over to Janumet.

What is the treatment for chronic cough?

Hi doctor,

I got sick about a week ago. It started with a sore throat, I started coughing, and my nose started running. I had no fever. I am better now, but my cough is hard to eliminate, especially in the mornings. Can you advise me on how to help it go away sooner? I have been taking medicine, Fluimucil granules, an active acetylcysteine ingredient. Kindly help.

Thank you.
