Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have left-sided rib cage pain and SGOT is 63 and SGPT is 70 , triglycerides 195 . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to maay reasons like cardiac related problem like angina , lung infection , muscle spasm , liver related problems , acid reflux and compression fracture . But in your case as SGPT levels are greater than SGOT , which represent viral hepatitis B and C, fatty liver, certain hepatotoxic drugs, and autoimmune liver diseases , Also your triglycerides level is also on the higher side . O would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist and get evaluated for liver disease ( blood tests and liver biopsy ) like hepatitis and cardiologist and get eveluated for cardiac problem like atherosclerosis without any delay .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
