I've been feeling this heaviness and tightness on the left side of my chest for over a month now. It all started after eating some oily food. In the mornings, when my stomach is empty, I feel fine, but after breakfast, the heaviness kicks in, though it's not always persistent. Sometimes, I feel normal again. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest any treatments or medications? I'm getting a bit concerned.

I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level is 49. What could be causing this, and is it something I should be concerned about? Also, what are some ways to bring it down naturally?
Elevated ALT (SGPT) levels, like your 49 reading, can be caused by various factors, including fatty liver, alcohol consumption, medication side effects, viral hepatitis, and liver damage from toxins or medications, and remedies to lower ALT levels include lifestyle changes like weight loss, exercise, and a balanced diet, as well as avoiding alcohol and hepatotoxic substances, managing underlying conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and considering supplements like vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids under medical guidance.
