Hepatomegaly, Liver Pain, Chronic Constipation, Hair Loss, Low Hemoglobin. Life Threatening Diseases?

Helo sir, my name is Tulasi and i am diagnosed with hepatomegaly 15 days ago. i suffered from liver pain for 2 yrs and i haven t taken any medicine for that too but doctos have prescribed painclear for that. But before that i had chronic constipation for 5 years and i took so many laxatvies as the doctors prescribed. But from 3 years i haven t taken any medicines for constipation because i tried natural therapies like fruits and juices and some yoga and i changed some of my diets too. Now my HB is low , i lost 12-13 kgs of my weight, i lost my hair and charm and happiness. No matter how much i eat nutritionary food my HB is getting low and i loose my weight. And now i can t take Iron saline and blood too because of swelling and allergies cause doctors have tried that. Are Hepatomegaly and constipation life threating? Cause its painful now.

good evening, first of all the cause of hepatomegaly has to be found out , only then the course of the illness can be decided. but one thing i want to suggest u that , kindly get ur thyroid hormone levels checked as soon as possible, a liver function test and an ultrasound abdomen. because the symptoms u have stated are fitting into hypothyroidism . lets see the results and decide the further course of action. if u just have a hepatomegaly without jaundice . then it can just be a fatty liver , there s nothing to be worried about it. but my repeat advice is to get ur thyroid hormones levels to be checked- t3 t4 tsh. keep me updated.
