Question

My mom just had some tests done and her SPGT ALT in liver function came back at 56. I'm really trying to understand what this means. Should we be taking any specific steps or actions moving forward?

An elevated SGPT (ALT) level of 56 indicates mild liver damage or inflammation, which can be caused by various factors such as fatty liver, hepatitis, medication side effects, or alcohol consumption; as a next step, consider consulting a gastroenterologis

Question

I've been experiencing some trouble breathing after I have dinner and then lie down in bed. It's strange because it doesn't really happen all the time, just usually after I eat and go to lie down. I end up having to take these deep breaths through my mouth because it feels like I'm not getting enough air. But what's odd is that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't have the same problem. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level is at 66, which seems higher than normal. Everything else like my SGOT at 34 and GGT at 40 is fine. I havent had any alcohol for a month, and I'm thin and didnt work out before the test. Is it a major concern that my SGPT level is elevated? How can I reduce it?

Question

I'm having trouble sometimes with taking deep breaths. It's easier when I yawn, but other times it's really tough. My pulmonary function test came back normal, and my oxygen levels are good too. But I've also noticed that whenever I eat, there's this smell and sound from my mouth, reminding me of acidity or gastric issues. Could these be related, and what should I do about it?
