Question 1

I've recently found out that my SGPT level is 79.8 and my total cholesterol is 174.5. I'm a bit worried and would really like to bring the SGPT down. Do you have any recommendations on how I can manage these levels, particularly the SGPT? I've been reading up a bit and it's all a tad confusing, so some clear advice would be super helpful!

Accepted Answer

To lower your SGPT level, also known as ALT (alanine aminotransferase), you can take the following steps: - Avoid alcohol consumption. Maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. Avoid fatty, fried, and processed foods. Consider taking medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). To lower your total cholesterol level, you can follow a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet and increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

Accepted Answer

You can continue taking Atorvastatin 10 mg. If the previous brand is not available, you can try using Lipitor as an alternative. Take 10 mg of Lipitor once daily as prescribed by your doctor.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned because lately, people sleeping near me have been telling me that I grind my teeth while I'm asleep. It's strange because Im not aware of it at all and it doesnt happen when Im awake. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be pregnant. The vibrations in your stomach could be early fetal movement, although it's unlikely to feel movement this early.

To confirm, take a home pregnancy test or consult your gynecologist for a blood test and further guidance.

In the meantime, ensure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated.

Question 4

I've been taking ashwagandha from an organic brand and I've noticed that I'm needing to pee really frequently, and this has been going on for the last year and a half. Can you suggest any solutions for this? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

Accepted Answer

This could be due to the diuretic effect of ashwagandha. I recommend stopping the ashwagandha supplement and consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
