I've been dealing with some stomach discomfort lately and my doctor prescribed Sompraz D and Ulgel A syrup. Since I started taking them, I've noticed my stomach makes a lot of gurgling noises, especially when I'm lying down. Is this a normal side effect? Should I be worried?

I've recently had a routine checkup and my SGPT is 146 ul and SGOT is 56 ul. Plus, my cholesterol is a bit high at 210. It's the first time my SGPT and SGOT levels have been high, and I don't drink alcohol. Should I go back for more tests, or maybe stick to a suggested diet for a couple of months before seeing a doctor? What would you recommend?
