I have an ejection fraction of 32% with persistent nausea and vomiting. I was told I don't need gallbladder surgery but should see a gastroenterologist. How long have you had the nausea, have you used any medication for it, and is there anything else in your medical history the doctor should know?

Hello, I recently had a blood test for liver. In the past, all levels were fine, but this time I had a slight elevation in AST at 46. ALT was normal, as were all other tests. I had these tests done following what we believed to be gallbladder spasms. The spasms went away before ultrasound, which indicated nothing was wrong, and no stones present. I am having a follow-up blood test done in 9 days to see if levels have settled. But this has me worried (I have health anxiety and hate tests!). How concerned should I be?

I have a fistula that has connected to the uterus. Can it be repaired laparoscopically? I have had the fistula for two weeks and am taking cipro. I have not seen an OB/GYN about it yet, but I have seen a urologist who sent me for a CT scan. I also have diverticulosis, but I am not on any medication except for cipro.
