Hi, I Recently Had Full Blood Work Done When I

Hi, I recently had full blood work done when I attended my doctor to get a new prescription for Lipitor, which I get every 6 months and generally do full blood work every year or 2. I have been on Lipitor for just over 2 years and am 58 years old.

My AST is 362 U/L, ALT 157 U/L , Alk Phos 32 U/L and CK 12648 U/L.

I am going back to see my doctor next week to follow up on the test results. Is this safe to leave for a week? And besides stopping Lipitor, which I have for the last 2 days after the doctor called and told me to stop. Is there anything else I should do in the short term?
Thanks,
Alan
