Liver Enzymes
by betsy1150, Jul 13, 2001 12:00AM
Dear Medhelp; I am a 51 yr old w/f. Six weeks ago I had a heart attach. During my emergency room visit, the cardiologist asked me if I drank which I amswered no. Never drink......Do or shall I say smoked cigarretts. He said my liver enzymes were elevated and that I should see a specialist after I recuperated from M.I. When I went to see my PCP she read on the discharge papers from the hospital that I should follow up with a Liver spec. I explained to her the elevation in enzymes so she took a blood test. Today I got a call from the Dr. stating it was still elevated and that chorl. was 206 so she is phoning in a powder type presp. that will help liver & chols. My question is one of confusion. I am on 6 medicatioins for M.I., never drink and have stopped cigarretts, could the heart attach infact have caused the enzymes to rise and should I be concerned and call the specialist for further testing? I am concerned about the elevation enough to searce the web and ask this question. I am not sure if I am comfortable with the PCP's reaction....
