Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Consult The Doctor For The Dizziness And Lightheadedness And Has Mild Fatty Liver?
I am having waves of dizziness and lightheadedness, along with pain in my upper right abdomen. I have been diagnosed with mild fatty liver disease and we are treating it with diet and exercise. They did not find any gallstones or such. I am wondering if I just have a rib out that is causing the discomfort...but the lightheadedness is concerning me. Should I consult my physician, as well as my chiropractor. When should I become concerned to the point of going to the emergency room.
Dizziness and lightheadedness may be due to many reasons like hypertension,cervical spondylosis,internal ear problem etc. You may need clinical correlation and investigations. It is generally a manageable condition.You may need few investigations like routine hemogram,cervical spine X-ray(AP/Lateral),random blood sugar etc. Mild fatty liver is a reversible condition.It may be reversed by diet and life style modification. You may need few medicines after investigations.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
