I'm really worried because my SGPT levels are high in my blood tests. I used to drink alcohol weekly, so I'm wondering if that's what's causing it. How can I lower my SGPT levels quickly? Also, if I get my levels back to normal, would it be okay to drink occasionally?

To decrease SGPT levels quickly, you should first stop consuming alcohol completely. Additionally, you can take medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid (300mg) or S-Adenosylmethionine (400mg) to help lower SGPT levels. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and stay hydrated to support liver function. Once your SGPT level returns to normal, it is best to avoid alcohol consumption or drink in moderation to prevent a recurrence of high SGPT levels.

I've been dealing with a fissure for over a year now and it keeps coming back every few weeks no matter what I try.

Is surgery really my only option at this point or are there other ways to fully heal this

if conservative therapy fails ,fistulectomy is advised.

I'm having some discomfort and uneasiness around my ribs on both sides, and it even extends to my shoulders. I've been taking gastric tablets like ZENTAC every day, and I've had tests done for both heart-related and gastro issues. My endoscopy results were normal too. I'm still trying to figure out what's causing these symptoms. What other tests should I consider to get to the bottom of this?

do one routine test like complete blood count, liver function test, and chest xray
