I'm just a bit concerned about my vitamin D levels. I checked them last month and they were really low. I'm curious, can I improve my vitamin D levels if I get some sunlight in the evening? Or is it only effective in the morning?

Elevated SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) Levels

Interpretation

  1. Mild elevation: Your SGOT (53) and SGPT (67) levels are mildly elevated.
  2. Possible causes: Elevated liver enzymes can be caused by various factors, including:
    • Fatty liver disease
    • Viral hepatitis (A, B, C, or E)
    • Medication side effects
    • Muscle damage or exercise
    • Other medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, celiac disease)

Next Steps

  1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your elevated liver enzymes.
  2. Additional tests: Your doctor may order further tests, such as:
    • Liver function tests (LFTs) to monitor enzyme levels
    • Hepatitis A, B, and C screenings
    • Ultrasound or other imaging tests to evaluate liver health
    • Blood tests to rule out other medical conditions
  3. Lifestyle modifications: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including:
    • A balanced diet
    • Regular exercise
    • Adequate sleep
    • Stress management

Reassurance

  1. Hepatitis and cirrhosis are unlikely: Given your age, lifestyle, and absence of symptoms, hepatitis and cirrhosis are less likely.
  2. Further evaluation is necessary: A thorough medical evaluation will help determine the cause of your elevated liver enzymes.

I'm dealing with hypothyroidism, but it's stable right now. A few days back, I had a fever and took Crocin for a day, which made the fever go away. But now I'm having these episodes where it feels like I can't breathe properlysometimes when I'm sitting, other times when I'm standing. Drinking water or eating helps for a bit, but then the shortness of breath comes back. Could this be some kind of infection or just my anxiety acting up? Anyone know if I should be getting some tests done?

She's currently taking Glycomet GP2 for her sugar levels and Listril for her blood pressure. Would these drinks affect her medications or condition in any way?
