How do I manage severe anxiety and grade 2 fatty liver?

Question

Hello doctor,

I was diagnosed with fatty liver grade 2 before two years, prior to that I had a cough for almost two years and felt nauseated. I felt like vomiting for four months, that is when I got worried and consulted a doctor.

I also suffer from severe anxiety and that has led to binge eating disorder and that is one of the reasons for the fatty liver too. I followed the doctor's advice sincerely and lost weight in a few months and improved my diet. I sincerely followed it for a year but then gradually again my diet started going haywire and now again I am at the same stage where I was before. I was given Pantocid 40 mg twice a day, Lesuride once daily and Ulgel.

During the second consultation after a month, I was given Pantocid DSR, vitamin E oil and asked to walk an hour a day with low-calorie diet. I feel like vomiting and cough after drinking a glass water or eating a meal.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have calculated your ideal body weight, which is 66.5 kg. However, your weight at the moment is not way beyond limits. If you just do what you were doing already, such as low caloric intake and regular exercise, that is more than anything.

Your doctor gave you vitamin E oil that seems to be good. Since up to now FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has not approved any medication for fatty liver except for weight reduction. So taking Vitamin E 400 mg twice daily for six months would control your liver function tests. But I want you to check for other causes for deranged liver function tests, such as chronic hepatitis.

Do you take alcohol? If not, then fine. If yes, how much and how frequently? The blood tests are within normal limits except for your vitamin D. You just take one dose of injection Indrop 2 lac units by mouth. Just break the vial and take it by mouth. And try to take milk almost every day. The rest of your symptoms, like nausea and vomiting, seem to be secondary to anxiety.

Anxiety and stress have a lot to do with someone's gastrointestinal tract. There are certain medications which can control your GI (gastrointestinal) upset as well as anxiety, but they are frequently adherent with side effects. I want you to take the following medication for now, and let me know if the symptom persists. I may consider giving you some medication for that.

For now, take the following medications and get these blood tests. I can understand it might be upsetting for you to have a lot many blood tests, but I really want to help you.

Thank you.
