Very Nervous

I had a physical a couple of days ago and my liver function test came back with 2 things slightly elevated. AST 51 and ALT 63. I have had to check my liver for the past 4 years because I've been on Flecainide for AFib. It has always been normal until now. I just had the dosage recently reduced as well. I'm also a social drinker, not an alcoholic. I have to be retested in 6 weeks. Just can't help being nervous about this.

Don't get too nervous, there are loads of things that cause liver function tests to fluctuate. Most will do you no long term harm. Hence the reason they do the re-test just to see if its just a one off spike.
