26yo w/ ALT of 87
by AvgDood, Oct 07, 2009 09:18PM
Hello,
I am a 26yo male with elevated ALT. It started as routine blood work for a physical several months ago.
My first blood work showed 67, second showed 91, and most recent showed 87(all with a couple months in between. The doctor wants to take blood one more time for ALT and if the levels do not lower, the nurse said the doctor will likely send me to a Gastroenterologist. I figure I can get a head start on research...
I have the occasional drink and HATE medication unless absolutely necessary - I know what you're thinking :) I am 6'0, 170lbs with normal medical history. My family medical history does not include any liver diseases to my knowledge. Several months ago I felt great and now over the past couple months I have had the following issues:
- Choking sensation in my throat w/ excess saliva
- My mind seems unusually foggy w/ short-term memory lapses
- Sporadic blurriness, double-vision, dizziness, highly-pungent flatulations, body/brain zaps, pressure
- Anxiety w/ uncontrollable adrenal rushes in stressful and non-stressful situations
- Noticeable bad breath even with normal hygiene
*All very annoying and frustrating - most symptoms increase with normal work stress
Other than the above conditions, I feel great, work out about 3 times a week, eat healthy, have a good appetite, sleep great, not tired past the norm, great work life, great home life, etc.
Any feedback is welcomed, thanks.
