Hello,
The AST/SGOT is a bit off the higher limit of normal although not grossly elevated (high values are 3-4x higher normal i.e., >120) and LDH is a bit high. The platelet count was not provided although slightly lower values are expected.
It would suggest you had HELLP syndrome and the pre-eclampsia phase of raised BP continues now.
I am not sure of the BP now, but cardioselective beta blockers will help. Do discuss with you cardiologist and obstetrician on the drug of choice.
I am sure things will settle down so try and relax to give some time for the medication to work. You should be able to stop this in a few weeks.
Best Wishes.
