I'm experiencing chest pain or some discomfort every time I eat sugar or sweets. Could this be related to a gastric issue? Which type of doctor should I see about this?

Chest discomfort after consuming sweets could be due to acid reflux or gastritis, as sugary foods can sometimes irritate the stomach lining or trigger reflux. Please consult a gastroenterologist for an evaluation to rule out other causes and confirm the diagnosis.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results. My SGOT and SGPT levels are 21.3 and 9.20, which are in the normal range, but the ratio is 2.3. Is this something I should worry about?
