I'm having this sensation where my chest feels really tight, like there's gas trapped in there, especially when I'm lying down. Sometimes, I wake up suddenly with this kind of unsettling sensation shooting up to my brain, and there's this bitter taste in my mouth. It's starting to worry me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help?

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.

if you have jaundice and liver fibrosis then you have to worry otherwise high sgpt and sgot can be reversed
