Fatty Liver, Anxious Feeling Around Naval Area. Taking Diazepam. Suggestions?

I hae been told I have fatty liver disease and cannot reach my doctor at this time. My stomach , aroudn the naval area feels like I am very "anxious". It was pretty bad so I took a diazepam and it helped the feeling within 10 minutes. My concern is that the pain and sicomfort is nto from fatty liver diease, but anxiety. Also I am not sure if taking diazepam is good with the fatty liver diagnosis
Thank you

Hi ! Finding of fatty liver on ultrasound scan of abdomen is a very common finding now a days due to our dietary habits. There is nothing to be concerned about, but you should discuss with your doctor about it if you have to undergo a liver function test and other related tests at the present moment. I am not sure if you take any alcoholic beverages, but you must stop it if you do. Rest of the management will depend after you being examined clinically and with the investigation reports. Taking too much of diazepam is not recommended as it is excreted through the liver. In the mean while, you can take a proton pump inhibitor drug till you meet your family physician. Wishing you an early recovery.
