I've just had some medical tests done and I'm a bit concerned because my SGOT came back at 92 and SGPT is 202. What do these numbers mean for my health? Are there ways to bring them back to a normal range? Should I be taking any specific medication? I don't have any other symptoms or issues, but would love some guidance.

SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) are enzymes found in the liver. Elevated levels of these enzymes may indicate liver damage or inflammation. To reduce the levels within range, it is important to address the underlying cause. This may involve making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regularly. In terms of medication, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm 27 and just had a test today because my stomach hasn't been feeling right. I've been having a hard time with it and it feels kind of like dysentery. What could be going on with my stomach?

At 27, experiencing persistent stomach issues and a dysentery-like feeling can be concerning. Its likely an infection or irritation in the gut. Stay hydrated, avoid heavy foods, and consult for a stool test or antibiotics if symptoms worsen. Take care!

I'm using Himalaya Gasex tablets without a prescription. Is it safe for me to continue doing this?

Using Himalaya Gasex tablets without a doctor's prescription can be relatively safe for short-term use, as they contain natural ingredients like simethicone, dill oil, and caraway oil, which help alleviate gas, bloating, and indigestion; however, long-term or excessive use can interact with other medications or worsen underlying conditions,
