Hi

Abdominal discomfort is one of the most common causes of patient visits to the emergency department

Gastroenteritis is very common and can present as loose stools, abdominal pain/bloating and can be acute/spontaneous or chronic.

It can be a dull or sharp, localized or diffuse. Accompanying symptoms include nausea and vomiting, tenderness, constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, bloating and gas, and fever.

Treatment focuses on controlling or eliminating the cause of fatty liver. For example, people should

Stop taking any drug that could be causing fatty liver

Lose weight

Take measures to control diabetes or lower triglyceride levels

Stop drinking

Vitamin E and thiazolidinediones (such as rosiglitazone or pioglitazone, used to treat diabetes) may be of some help in treating fatty liver that is not caused by alcohol

Adipose tissue in liver area can reduce if you can take care of your weight and enlarged abdomen put pressure on lungs by pressing the diaphragm(membrane which separates chest and the abdomen)

Reduction of weight will also benefit your breathlessness

Wish You Good Health
