What Does The ALT Indicate?

My ALT is 108. How worried should I be? I am on prescription drugs that could be contributing.

I am 61, 5'2", 135 pounds. I have asthma, controlled high blood pressure, psoriasis, arthritis, generalized anxiety disorder and PAC's. I take metoprolol, maxzide, singulair, diltiazem and celexa.
