I Recently Asked A Question In Regards To My Liver

default
Posted on Fri, 18 Sep 2020
Question: I recently asked a Question in regards to my liver enzymes rising (please refer to my last 2 questions) I can get in to a Gastroenterologist in a month and I am not taking any over the counter drugs and I don't drink alcohol and I haven't in 29 years. I have been drinking warm water with lemon in the morning on an empty stomach and within 20 mins I have pain in my liver and waist area and in my mid back and behind my shoulder blade on the right side. Do you think I need to get into a Gastroenterologist sooner. Could it be the gall bladder? They didn't see anything on the CT scan 8 mos ago but as I said before they weren't concentrating on that area they were looking at the spleen. Also one more quick question. Can a low dose .25 estrodial patch effect my enzyme levels? There is definitely something going on because my right side stomach and back have some sort of dull pain all the time. Thank you for your help

Sorry I meant ALP.
current Medications
Levothyroxine 88MCG , Hydrochlorothiazide 1/2 of 25 MG tablet, .25 estrodial patch

The first time my enzyme levels went up I was taking Valerian for sleep. My levels went back down when I stopped taking it but then I started taking Unisom that has Doxylamine Succinate as a sleep aid. In the last year I've had problems with enzyme levels. I'm wondering if I have damaged my liver by using it every night. About once or twice a week in the last few months I have used a Nyquil tablet which has acetaminophen along with the Doxylamine succinate Thanks again for the help
