Please see a local gastroentrologist, physical consultation.

Question 2

I've been feeling a small lump on the left side of my body just below the rib cage. It's not visible but I can feel it when I touch that area. It sometimes causes a bit of discomfort, although most of the time I don't really notice it. It's been there for six months now and hasn't changed in size, which is a bit concerning. I've also gained some weight over the last year, going from 55 to 70, and I don't smoke or drink. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

It is important to consider various possibilities. One potential cause could be a lipoma, which is a noncancerous growth of fat cells. Another possibility could be a benign cyst or a hernia. However, without a physical examination and possibly imaging studies, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I recommend you consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my recent ultrasonography report. It says I have hepatomegaly, a fatty liver, and a fatty pancreas. I took Udiliv 300 for three months last year, but the fatty liver is still there. What can I do to improve my liver condition and overall health? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Fatty liver and pancreatitis require lifestyle changes for improvement. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and reduce alcohol intake. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are crucial. You may also want to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate whether further treatment or changes to your medication are necessary.

I'm dealing with a lot of hyper acidity, and I've noticed I occasionally get palpitations. All my tests like blood work, ECG, and Echo are normal, but these palpitations have me worried. Is it possible that my acid reflux is causing these palpitations?
