Sorry if this is in the wrong category. 

I'm often worried that I may have liver disease or something worse. 

I had a full physical with my doctor at the start of january 2018. 

Prior to my physical I would get some pain in my right side around my liver area, I still occasionally get some pain maybe once a week for a maximum of 30 seconds per occurrence. 

Everything was fine after my physical except for my blood tests. My alt was 186, but all other liver tests like AST, Bilirubin etc. were normal. 

I got my blood retested a month later, my results then were a decrease of ALT to 144, but my AST was one point above normal now and I think my bilirubin was also a little above normal. Another 2ish weeks passed, my ALT was still 144, but all my other liver tests were back to normal. I was sent to Ultrasound, but nothing abnormal was found. I got another blood test after a week. My ALT was now 126. I think I have NAFLD or NASH, but I fear something worse like cirrhosis or hcc, but my mind has a tendency to wander to worst case scenarios. I am overweight and have lost about 5 kilos due to healthy eating and 10000 steps everyday, at least I hope that is why I have lost the weight. 

Yesterday and today I have what I think are very red palms and when I walk I have what feels like lumpsunder my feet. 

I've attached a few pictures of my palms. 

Do they look really red like you would get if you have cirrhosis?

    You would be going yellow if you had cirrhosis, not red. Trust me, I had a liver transplant in 2012 and I looked like a factor in list that bed. I think you're right, you're going worst case scenario. I highly doubt you have NAFLD, but if you are that worried pose the question to your doc.
