I'm a bit concerned about my liver function test results. My SGPT value is 49, bilirubin total is 1.66, and bilirubin indirect is 1.47. The fibrosis value with liver stiffness is 6.3. Should I be worried about these numbers? What steps should I take next?

Folic acid is typically taken in micrograms (mcg), not milligrams (mg).

The recommended dosage is:

400 mcg for the first three months of pregnancy

600 mcg from four to nine months

500 mcg during lactation

It's essential to consult a gynecologist before taking any medications, including folic acid supplements like Vitafol.

I've been experiencing some pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's been happening whenever I eat spicy or non-veg dishes. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to get worried. Could it be something to do with the food, or is it something I should be more concerned about?
