How do I know if my stomach pain is serious?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Usual causes of stomach pain are acidity, indigestion, gall stones, intestinal disorders, kidney stones and infections. Most of them can be mild and be treated at home under doctor's guidance but sometimes, any of them can cause sudden sharp pain with intense vomiting and diarrhea. So, it is better to consult with doctor and take treatment as early as possible.

I'm a bit concerned after getting my lab results, and I was hoping you could help me understand them better. My SGPT level came back at 86 and SGOT is at 64. What could these numbers mean for my liver health? Are they dangerously high or just a little elevated? Should I be doing something specific or get more tests done to check it out?
