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 had a moderate hiatus hernia for a few years and take a tablet every morning for acidity. I've been on these meds for three years now and worry about long-term side effects. Is there a good alternative to Sompraz L that's safer for daily use? I don't want surgery since multiple endoscopies and doctors say it's not needed yet, but I'm concerned about how these meds might affect my health over time. Any suggestions for a safer long-term option?

For long-term management of hiatal hernia-related acidity, a safer alternative to Sompraz L could be a combination of lifestyle changes, H2 receptor blockers, or even trying shorter courses of PPIs with breaks to monitor symptom recurrence. It's crucial to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best approach for your specific situation
