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 having acid reflux in my stomach lately and it gets worse when I eat or lie down to sleep. Could this be related to gallstones? Do I need to consider surgery for this?

Yes, gallstones can sometimes be linked to acid reflux, especially if they cause inflammation of the gallbladder. The presence of gallstones can lead to a buildup of bile in the stomach, increasing pressure and potentially stimulating acid production, which can contribute to acid reflux symptoms. However, acid reflux can also have other causes, such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), certain foods, or being overweight.

I have a 2.9cm gallstone can it be dissolved with meds or will I need surgery? I've been dealing with a lot of gas and stomach bloating too, is that related?

A gallstone of 2.9cm is relatively large and unlikely to be dissolved with medication alone. Surgery, typically cholecystectomy, is usually the recommended treatment. The gas and bloating you're experiencing could be related to the gallstone, as it can cause digestive issues and potentially lead to bloating.
