I have COVID and was given antiviral medication, but every time I have taken it, I have thrown it up. Should I persevere with it or not? I have a fever, a cough, but not shortness of breath at the moment. I am located in Morley WA, and I am not sure how widespread COVID-19 is in my area. I have not used the antiviral or anything similar before, I am 60 years old, and I have mild asthma and am on blood pressure meds.

I had gastric bypass surgery 6 weeks ago and have been experiencing severe nausea from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, difficulty keeping down liquids or small bites of food, and constant constipation despite being on multiple medications including Zofran, phenergan, reglan, a scopalimine patch, Senekot, dulcolax, and a stool softener. I recently added miralax to the mix but it hasn't helped. Could something be wrong due to the surgery, and how long can I go without a bowel movement before it becomes a concern?

I recently discovered that my alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level was markedly elevated (162 U/L) during a previous ER visit for GI bleeding. The doctor wasn't concerned at the time, but I'm worried about how this might affect my life insurance application. I take a lot of Tylenol for back pain and have a history of fatty liver disease. Is this ALT level concerning, and could it raise a red flag for my insurance?
