Suggest Treatment For Breathing Difficulty And Fatty Liver

Hello, I have had several symptoms in the past year. I am currently taking thyroid medication for low thyroid. Last summer I thought I had pneumonia because of the difficulty breathing. I went to urgent care, doctor didn t think I had issues with my lungs. He gave me steroids, which helped immensely with the low energy symptoms and breathing. I had to be put on a second round because as soon as I was winding down from the meds symptoms returned. I felt better once second round was complete. I have had on going issues, and recently was told (via a Pet scan) that I have a fatty liver. My regular doctor didn t seem overly concerned. The hematologist will see me a few more times in the next year, but I am concerned about the ongoing issues. I sometimes break out in a rash around the chest area, I get blotchy skin in other areas, and in the last few months my breast itch. Can you help with some answers? Thank you.

Hello,

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possibilities like ascites secondary to cirrhosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
