I'm a 30-year-old woman and just recently had a baby. I had my LFT done, and my sgot level is 28, sgpt is 57, and ggt is 122. Should I be worried about this? What can I do to lower my sgpt and ggt levels?

Hello! Your SGOT and SGPT levels are within a manageable range, but GGT is elevated, which might indicate liver strain. Since you recently delivered, this could be related to postpartum changes or medications. Focus on a balanced diet, avoid alcohol, stay hydrated, and consult your doctor for tailored advice. Take care!

View allI've been noticing for a while now that whenever I eat, everything tastes way too spicy, and it makes me lose interest after just a few bites. It's like everyone else finds it normal, but for me, it feels like there's too much spice in the food. This has been a thing for the past few years. Also, sometimes when I'm brushing, my gums bleed a bit. Could these things be connected somehow, or is it something I should be worried about?
You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can cause a sensation of spiciness or burning in the throat or chest after eating spicy foods. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the symptoms. Additionally, for the bleeding gums, you may benefit from using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle toothpaste, as well as incorporating a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help reduce inflammation and bleeding. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dentist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a viral fever that's been going on for around 12 days now, and I just did an LFT test which showed my SGPT and SGOT levels are really high, like 230. I'm worried if this is serious or something that I can get under control. How do I manage these elevated levels and get some relief as they've been rising every day? Can you guide me on what steps to take?
