Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent health check-up results. My SGPTALT came back at 46, which seems to be above the normal range, and my lipid profile is on the higher side too. Do you think I should be worried about this and possibly start some medication? Also, I'm curious about the role of eosinophils in the body. Could you give me some insight into what they do? I've attached the report for your reference.

Your SGPTALT level of 46 is slightly elevated, which could indicate mild liver stress or inflammation. Given the high lipid profile, it's important to focus on lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and regular exercise to manage your cholesterol. Medication may be considered if lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in immune responses, especially in allergic reactions and combating parasitic infections. It would be best to discuss your results with your doctor for a personalized plan.

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with indigestion for a week now. Everything I eat just comes back up with some sour water, and on top of that, I'm experiencing chest and shoulder pains, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, plus there's this burning feeling in my stomach. Is all this just due to acidity, or could it be something more serious like a heart attack? I'm not sure what to think and would appreciate any advice.

Question

I'm experiencing a lot of burping and I seem to get short of breath. When I take an antacid and the gas goes away, my breathlessness seems to improve. Could GERD or the excessive burping be causing this breathlessness? It's a bit worrying, and I'd love to understand what's going on.

Question

My mom just had some tests done and her SPGT ALT in liver function came back at 56. I'm really trying to understand what this means. Should we be taking any specific steps or actions moving forward?
