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'm a bit concerned about my SGOT levels; they came back as 56. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it normal, or could it indicate a potential issue? Also, are there any steps I can take to try and lower it?

SGOT level of 56 is considered high and may indicate a potential liver issue,

I'm really worried about my wife's kidney function test results. Her SGPT is at 322, SGOT is 206, GGT is 235, and ALP is 379. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and what we should do next?

The elevated liver enzymes (SGPT, SGOT, GGT, and ALP) indicate liver damage or inflammation, potentially due to hepatitis, fatty liver, or other conditions; schedule an immediate consultation with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss further testing (e.g., liver ultrasound, hepatitis screening), lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet, exercise), and possible treatment options to address the underlying cause.
