Bloating, Pressure Under Ribcage, Tender And Enlarged Thyroid. Have Fatty Liver And Gallbladder. Should Gastroenterologist Be Consulted?

hi I have been diagnosed with a fatty liver and fatty galbladder, this was three months ago, I have changed my diet lost 8 kilos, and barely drink more than 6 beers a fortnight, but I still have a feeling of bloating, reoccurring pain, shortened breath, inflammation and pressure under the right ribcage, my doctor says it will heal in time but I am worried as this seems to be a constant thing, I am noticing my right thyroid in my throat is slighty tender and enlarged, should I be referred to a gastrointerolligist (hopefully that's the right pronunciation lol) or any other suggestion would be muchly appreciated.

Dear friend,

You are having fatty liver and fatty gall bladder. The most common reason for these conditions is alcohol consumption.

You have reduced your alcohol intake but i will advice you to stop taking alcohol completely because it can progress to cirrhosis of liver which is an irreversible condition and once it occurs, the liver gets permanently damaged.

In addition, you can take tab urshodiol but cessation of alcohol consumption is mandatory.

For pain in throat, you can consult an ENT surgeon. he will evaluate and guide you properly.

Stay healthy.
