doctor of liver - #18873

Kashvi

I am kinda worried about my health lately and really need some advice from a doctor of liver. For the past few months, I’ve had this persistent pain right under my rib cage, it’s not super intense but it’s definitely noticeable. I thought it might just be because I’ve been stressed or maybe eating too much junk, you know? But then just last week I started noticing that my skin has this weird yellowish tint, and I’m freaking out a bit. I did some research and learned that it could be related to liver issues, which made me wanna find a good doctor of liver. I went to my regular doctor, and they just said it could be some digestive issue but I also got sent for blood tests. The results showed elevated liver enzymes, which made things even scarier. The nurse mentioned that I might want to consult a specialist, like a doctor of liver, but I really don’t know who to trust or if I should be worried about these symptoms. Is it common for things like yellowing skin and rib cage pain to be serious? What should I ask when I finally see a doctor of liver? Should I be cutting out alcohol or certain foods now or wait for an appointment? Just feeling overwhelmed and not sure what to do next.
