Hello,
Since you are taking Vytorin (ezetimibe and
simvastatin), sometimes, in some patients it may cause side effects like liver problems causing
indigestion,
constipation, gastritis, etc. You are suggested to take liver tonics and fiber rich food to avoid constipation. Take lots of water, juice and soups. Avoid red meat, liver, milk and dairy products, processed grains, fried food, alcohol, etc as it causes constipation.
Take legumes, lentils, whole grains, beans, fruits, berries, papayas, etc. take easily digestible food for better bowel movement. Take digestives and laxatives at bed time. Since your sclera appears yellow and you are feeling dizzy, you are suggested to get liver function tests, tests for
bilirubin done. Get USG for liver done to detect any enlargement.
Get clinically examined by a GP at the earliest to detect liver enlargement (jaundice/
viral hepatitis, etc). You will be treated accordingly. Take boiled food, avoid junk, oily food. Avoid hot, spicy food and addictions if any. Avoid stress, take adequate sleep.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
