I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

I recently got my blood test results back, and I'm a bit worried. They showed that I have high blood pressure and elevated liver enzymes, with my SGPT at 57 UL and SGOT at 50 UL. My doctor prescribed Atoris for the blood pressure, but I heard it might not be good for people with high SGPT and SGOT levels. Could you let me know if that's true and what I should do?
