Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic Forum

The anti hypertensive ( Amlodepine b ) you are taking also has chances toi raise the SGPT levels to what you have , and most of times such reading can be obtained when the blood sample is taken wrong time ( right being early morning fasting sample) or as a effect of previous day fatty/spicy food .

I advice you to get a repeat test , if the readings are still high then you may need to consult your doctor to get the anti hypertensive changed and have a fat and spice free diet for at least a month .
