Can Garcinia Cambogia Or Liver Tonic Pills Cause Chronic Fatigue And Abdominal Pain?

Hi there I just had full blood tests and all results were normal except for very abnormal liver function tests. I ve been feeling very weak nauseous chronic fatigue pains on abdomen etc Swollen legs and abdomen, very depressed and gained a lot of weight. I ve had another blood test and waiting for the result. I m surprised as I m 44 and rarely drink non smoker and eat very well. I take a lot of various supplements and multivitamins. How could I suddenly develop this ? Could it be side effect of garcinia Cambogia and liver tonic pills I take ? Will I ever feel well again? What s the treatment ? Thanks.

Hi

Any drug could cause side effects. Inorder to identify the cause,you can stop the drug for a few weeks and check for the symptoms. If the symptoms stop, I would suggest you to stop taking the drug.

Meanwhile you can check your blood sugar serum elecrtolytes, since diabetes and electrolyte deficiency can cause fatigue.

Abdominal ultrasound can also be done if the pain exists.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
