I recently went for a routine health check-up and everything seemed fine, but I'm a bit worried about my ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE or ALTSGPT levels. The result came back as 131, whereas I read the normal range is supposed to be between 21 and 72. My SGOT level was 52. I've heard that these tests are connected to liver health. Should I be concerned about these results? What are some effective ways to lower my ALTSGPT levels? The test was done using UV with P5P.

I'm having this issue where I keep throwing up this yellowish, bitter liquid in the morning. It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what's going on. I also feel really nauseous when I try to eat, like my stomach's already full. It's quite uncomfortable. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

I've been struggling with bloating for a while now, and I'm wondering if there's a way to permanently fix this or if it's something I'm going to have to deal with forever. Also, when it comes to seeking medical advice, should I be consulting an Ayurveda specialist or a gastroenterologist? I'm really not sure which direction to take and would love some guidance.
