side effects of fatty liver - #15633

Neil

I am dealing with some really weird health stuff lately and I'm starting to freak out a bit. I've been diagnosed with fatty liver after some blood tests came back not great, and honestly, I'm not sure what to expect now. My doctor mentioned the possible side effects of fatty liver, but I kinda zoned out because I was so worried. I mean, I’m really trying to eat healthier, cut down on sugar and fat, but then my friend mentioned she had a cousin who had some serious side effects of fatty liver that got bad really quickly. That scared me. I'm not having any pain or anything but I do feel kinda bloated sometimes, like after I eat carbs or processed stuff. Could that be a side effect of fatty liver? I’ve also read online about things like fatigue or feeling confused, but I’m like, is that even a real thing? I just wanna know what the common side effects of fatty liver are—like, do I need to worry about liver damage or is it just me being paranoid? I can’t shake the worry, you know? Also, should I be thinking of getting more tests or something to check just to be safe? Might be better to be proactive, right?
