Liver Blood Test ALT = 55

[lancer123]

Hello,
I had a routine liver blood test done for general health checking.  My ALT value was 55.  My doctor indicated that this value is a little high and to have it re-checked in 3 to 4 weeks.  The AST value is normal.  Also, I had a Kidney function blood test that came back normal.  I am the type of person that worries a lot.  Is it ok for me to wait 3 or 4 weeks to have it re-checked?  Does a level of 55 indicate a serious problem?  I take Paxil and Buspar and don't know if these meds might have something to do with the Level.  Paxil is an Anti-depressant and Buspar for Anxiety.  

I do have two beers a night.  Could alchol cause a increased value?  If alchol can do this, how long does it take to come back down if you stop or cut back drinking?  Is it right away or several days?  If you have a night out which you drink a lot, does the number go up quickly and then takes several days to drop down again?

Any help is apprecaited.
