I've been experiencing some discomfort lately when I sleep on my side. It feels like there's a squeezing sensation under my rib cage. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be something serious, or is it a common issue? What might be going on?

I'm a bit worried. My SGPT level is 112, and I heard that's not a good sign. Can you tell me more about what this means and how I can bring it down?

Elevated SGPT levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce your SGPT levels, you should focus on making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol, and following a balanced diet low in fat and sugar. Additionally, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid to help improve liver function and reduce SGPT levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.
