Can we drink tea if our SGPT and SGOT levels are slightly high, like 60 out of 45 and 58 out of 35? Would that be okay or should we avoid it?

Your SGPT and SGOT levels are slightly elevated, indicating some liver stress or inflammation. Regarding tea consumption:

Moderate tea intake is generally safe for most people, including those with mildly elevated liver enzymes.
Avoid adding excessive sugar or high-fat dairy, as these can affect overall liver health.
If you consume caffeinated tea, limit intake to moderate amounts, as excessive caffeine might not be ideal.
Herbal teas without caffeine can be a good alternative.

It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the cause of elevated liver enzymes and get personalized advice. They may recommend lifestyle changes, further tests, or treatments depending on your overall health.

In summary, you don't need to completely avoid tea, but moderation and healthy choices are key while monitoring your liver health.

I've been experiencing this tightness or squeezing sensation in the upper right side of my chest for over a year now, and it seems to be getting worse. My chest X-ray came out normal, but I also have Gilbert's syndrome, which is adding to my fatigue. I'm really worried about what's going on. Could you help figure out what's causing this?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm experiencing a lot of saliva and after swallowing it, I feel this burning sensation in my stomach like acidity. Its really uncomfortable. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

Can be a sign of acid reflux. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can use Antacid syrup like Gaviscon 10-20ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for immediate relief from acidity symptoms. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help reduce symptoms.
