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.
I am a 59yr old woman with HCV caused cirrhosis. About 50% of the time my doctor takes my blood pressure it is normal (120/70 or 80) and the other times it's high (160/105) or more.
Had heart tested a couple of years ago and it was fine.
Hello , thank you for your question . Liver cirrhosis needs a complex treatment . If you were my patient i would suggest you to get an appointment with gastroenterologist . You need to get regular ultrasonographic and biochemistry exams to check the status of the desease. I have to warn you that liver cirrhosis is a main cause for liver cancer . You should switch to a liver friendly diet - no fried foods , no fatty things , lemons etc. etc. . Its is good for you to take regularly hepatoprotective medicines . You have to be aware of one of the complication of cirrosis - portal hypertension . You may develop varices of the esophag which can bleed badly . Your condition needs dedicated lifelong treatment . Hope i helped you
