I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing lately. I've been feeling really fatigued, super sleepy, and I've had a few fevers now and then. I've also noticed some weight loss and hair loss, and I've been getting headaches. My ultrasound report says there's decreased echotexture of my liver, which they mentioned could be hepatitis. Could these symptoms all be related, and should I be worried about the possibility of hepatitis? What steps should I take next?

Based on your symptoms of fatigue, sleepiness, occasional fever, weight loss, hair loss, and headache, along with the ultrasound report showing decreased echotexture of the liver suggestive of hepatitis, this points to possible liver inflammation. I recommend further blood tests and a detailed evaluation to confirm the cause and guide treatment effectively.

I've been dealing with GERD for 20 years and take PPIs daily. Even after changing my lifestyle, I still feel food getting stuck in my throat. Some doctors recommend surgery while others say it's not needed or might not work. I'm really confused and frustrated because GERD is ruining my life. Is surgery actually a permanent solution for this? I'm ready to consider it if it can help me finally get relief.

While surgery (like laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication) can be highly effective in treating GERD, it's not always a "permanent" solution, and it's not appropriate for everyone. , it's the last treatment option after lifestyle changes and medications fail, and even then, it doesn't guarantee complete eradication of symptoms.
