Can Elevated Liver Count Level Cause Muscle Pain?

Hello, I recently went to the doctor to have a physical and blood work was done. I was called back about a week later and was told my liver count level was too high, and also my thyroid count was low. She says that she wants to do a hepatitis panel test and an ultrasound of the liver. When researching online I found that muscle pain could possibly cause an elevated liver count and the day before my physical the muscle on the right side of my lower back was hurting a lot. 3 days before I also did some heavy drinking. Should I be worried? Could I possibly have elevated levels from taking mucinex and day quil?
