What Are the Symptoms of a Fatty Liver Getting Worse? - #60354
I am dealing with some health stuff that’s really stressing me out. Lately, I have been feeling super bloated and tired, and I just found out that I have a fatty liver AND high blood pressure. I mean, what even is going on? My doctor mentioned something about how fatty liver can be linked to high blood pressure, which made me worry even more. I don’t know if I should be looking for symptoms of a fatty liver getting worse or just focus on the blood pressure thing! Sometimes I get this dull pain on my right side, and then there’s this weird sensation after I eat, like my stomach just doesn’t want to cooperate. I have heard about signs of fatty liver like fatigue and pain, but what else should I be looking for? And like, can someone please tell me how quickly can fatty liver be reversed? I really want to do something about this. I have also read that it might get worse if I don’t change my diet or lifestyle, but honestly, I don’t know where to start. Is there a way to manage both fatty liver and high blood pressure naturally? I could really use some guidance, especially since I feel like everything is kinda connected here! Any advice?
