Is High Alt Level A Cause For Sleeping Disorders?

I am 46 yrs old I have alt level 112. and i am quiet worried about that. My tests for Hepatitis are negative. I have never taken any alcohol. Yes my diet may be a bit fatty and my ultra sound show a bit fatty lever. I don t normally do exercise and I usually feel all the time sleepy and tired and lethargic and my sleep is not very sound and I kicks around and change sides during the sleep and some of my friend have told me about my abnormal movement during sleep. Also my sleep is not refreshing also. what i should do reduce this alt level and make my sleep calm and refreshing

dear,
alt levels has got no relation with sleep disturbances per se.
sleep disturbance here is a mojor concern which at may predispose to cardiac complications and then it's a vicious circle.
An underlying depression could also set in if it persist.
Here our scope of intervention lies in setting up a healthy lifestyle and maintaing proper sleep hygiene.
my advice to you is to avoid caffeine and stimulants after 6 pm.
avoid large meals in dinner.
use bed only to sleep, do not lie ideal without sleeping.
If you don't fall asleep within 5-10 mins of getting in bed, get up and do some thing else.
Have moderate physical exercise in morning for half an hour.
If symptoms persist despite of these modifications then a course of anti depressant be useful I suggest your doctor to add
tab fluoxetine 20 mg in morning
tab alprazolam 2 mg half hour before getting in bed
thanks
