Looking for advice
I had been experiencing right upper quadrant pain for about two years but it would come and go. I had been on ozempic and stopped taking it bc I got pregnant and the pain went away so I attributed it to that. I went to my dr recently bc I was feeling anxious about my gall bladder health, I hadnt had any attacks but was seeing yellow looking stones in my stool and was recovering from a 2nd trimester pregnancy loss and I know gallstones can happen with pregnancy.
I had an ultrasound and it showed fatty liver. my liver enzymes were also mildly elevated (can’t remember which but one was in low 30s other was in low 40s). my cholesterol was slightly elevated as well but nothing crazy.
I don’t drink a ton, just socially. ive struggled with binge eating in the past so I’m not super surprised by this that I now know it can be caused by diet. I just had my follow up with my dr and they were pretty unhelpful, just told me to eat better and prescribed me ozempic again.
today I started to have some pain on my left side so I’m worried there may be more going on besides the fatty liver. I asked my dr if I could get additional imaging and they said it wasn’t needed. I feel like I should have at least gotten a fibroscan or mri. should I push my dr again? or see if I can be referred to a GI?
since I saw the ultrasound results I’ve done loads of research on here and have totally overhauled my diet and have been getting more exercise. I’ve lost weight and I know I need to continue to do so to try and reverse this. I feel like everyone is acting like this isn’t a big deal but I feel like it certainly is. ive had a lot of health anxiety since my pregnancy loss and I’m just worried about this and wondering if I should be doing more scans to see how severe it is. Thanks everyone!
