Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible peri menopausalsyndrome.
However, I am unaware about the details of menses from the query.
I would request thedetails to be sure.

I would suggest Tab Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily at breakfast. This may take care of your sourness in the mouth.
Other conditions may need medicines like antidepressants and I will suggest that you avoid them till really needed. It's better to make efforts with non pharmacy measures.

Regarding hyperlipidemia and raised enzymes, I would suggest that you let me know more details- your diet pattern, any medicines, and the exact values of the reports. Suggestions of therapy can be made according to the inputs.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
