My name is Branson Vo, and I recently learned something unexpected about my AST levels. I was rather surprised because I've always thought of myself as being in good health, and I hadn't seen any symptoms. I was alarmed by the diagnosis, but I was also determined to take the required action to get my AST and SGOT levels back to normal.

My doctor ordered blood tests as part of a standard checkup, and the results showed increased AST SGOT levels. Aspartate aminotransferase, also known as AST SGOT, is mostly present in the liver, heart, and muscles. A damaged liver or other underlying medical disorders may be indicated by higher blood levels of AST and SGOT.

Naturally, I was concerned and wanted to know what was causing the elevation. My doctor stated that a number of things, such as specific drugs, alcohol use, or severe activity, could result in elevated AST SGOT levels. My doctor advised additional testing and referred me to a specialist in order to identify the underlying reason.

My liver function was found to be normal after talking with the doctor and completing additional blood testing, ruling out any serious liver problems. The specialist thought that a drug I had just started taking for a different health issue might be to blame for the rise in my AST and SGOT levels. I was happy to learn that my liver was healthy, but I was still worried about how the medicine would affect my AST and SGOT values.

I spoke with the doctor about possible solutions to the problem that would have less of an effect on my liver enzymes. After giving it some thought, I chose to switch to a different drug that was thought to have less of an impact on my AST and SGOT levels.

The doctor also suggested that I adjust my lifestyle in order to maintain the health of my liver and lower my AST SGOT levels. This was in addition to the prescription change. I adopted these suggestions and started making deliberate decisions to enhance my general wellbeing. I changed my diet to one that was better, adding more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while consuming fewer processed foods and bad fats. Regular exercise that included both cardiovascular workouts and strength training became a part of my routine.

My AST SGOT readings required patience and persistence to return to a normal range. I maintained my discipline and listened to the recommendations made by my medical staff. We were able to keep track of my development and make any required modifications to the treatment plan thanks to routine check-ups and blood testing.

I eventually began to see a slow but steady improvement in my health. My AST SGOT readings showed a lower trend in subsequent blood tests, indicating that the changes I made were having a good effect. I felt relieved after hearing this, which gave me even more drive to carry on with my quest for better health.
