Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

You are having increase SGOT and SGPT.Please also get test for Hepatitis B (HBsAg), Anti HCV antibody for hepatitis C, autoantibodies like ANA and SMA to rule out other causes of increase SGOT and SGPT. If all these tests are negative then you are suffering from NAFLD (Non alcoholic fatty liver disease).

Treatment for NAFLD:

1. Most important if you are obese or overweight please reduce it
2. Do regular exercise at least 30 minutes /day
3. Avoid fatty meals
4. Tab Ursodeoxycholic acid

About the symptoms feeling of tiredness can occur in NAFLD but sore throat and chest heaviness are usually not a part of it.

Please upload again my few queries:
1.Give details of sore throat and heaviness in chest like duration, exact location of heaviness upper or lower part of chest
2. Whether these are associated with cough, expectoration or fever
3.Whether you have any reflux symptoms like heartburns, regurgitation or dysphagia

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
