Sometimes when I'm sleeping at night, my throat gets really dry, and in the morning, I notice a bad smell. I've also felt a bit of irritation in the middle of my chest while lying down. Plus, there's some sputum that comes up in the morning, but then it's gone for the rest of the day. What could be causing this?

I'm a bit worried. My SGPT level is 112, and I heard that's not a good sign. Can you tell me more about what this means and how I can bring it down?

Elevated SGPT levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce your SGPT levels, you should focus on making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol, and following a balanced diet low in fat and sugar. Additionally, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid to help improve liver function and reduce SGPT levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.
