How Harmful Is Smoking To Enlarged Liver With Fatty Inclusions? What Does Severe Cough Indicate?

HI, I get bouts of diorama with horrendous pain and get extremely hot. I wake up around 4 in the morning with a weight in my upper abdomen, I feel sick before I sneeze, then it passes. when I cough at night it s in little bouts (like my sneezes 6-10) and dry only 2 or 3 . I have a lump on my right palm and another coming up on my left. I drink too much and have done since I was about 8, I smoke too much and have since I was about 6. I ve been told I have an enlarged liver with fatty inclusions.. So stop smoking and drinking was the DRs advice and I get that. But REALLY I would have if I could have, and whatever it is giving me grief now, I don t think is an old adversary. I realize with my history I don t deserve assistance and certainly not pity.I have spent the last ten years as a firefighter and encountered many chemicals wet, dry and burning. So I cop it sweet ,right.

Hello


Enlarges and fatty liver is because of your drinking habits .You had no choice but to stop it Great you have done so
Smoking affects every part of respiratory system; lungs; tracheas; other organ associated with breathing and It causes bad cough
Lumps in palm may be the burn as result of holding what you smoke cigarette or any other thing .Some time we recognize with these marks that patent is true in denying that he is smoking or not .Such burns are more common in cannabis smoking
Contact with chemicals during firefighting and holding of heavy firefighting appliances may also caused damage to your palm

I would have advised to such patient in my clinic to stop drinks and smoking for ever and if he can not do of own take the help of de-addiction hospitals .I would have told my patients that to remain free of substance abuse he will need regulator cancelling .I would have told him that cough will take some time to go. Use gloves when handling fire fighting appliances to protect palm and hands

I make my patient to be positive for future and take counseling seasons if required

For fatty live I would have told my patient to get complete Liver function including SGOT & SGOT done and take the help of a gastro doctor.

Take care and I trust you will remain healthy
