Fatty Liver, Mild Headache Pain after exercise.

I am diagnosed with Fatty Liver.Stopped Alcohol
a while back.Was told to exercise.I get a mild
headache which persists for a few days and also
pain  in the right side of my abdomen.Why do I
get a lingering headache and pain after exercise?
Should I be gentle in my exercise ? I am also
fasting in the nights will this help ?

Unfortunately, we are not doctors here, just very experienced people who are doing battle with disease or helping friends that are. So again I would recommend seeing a doctor if the headache and pain remains a problem. If you are being very active with your exercise (a good thing!), then maybe you are becoming a bit dehydrated and this may lead you to the headache/pain, etc. Just make sure you get enough water if you are exercising vigorously, and things may settle down for you.

Can over-exercise trigger headaches for people with fatty liver ?

A fatty liver will tend to make the liver larger and swollen to a degree. This causes compressive stress on the bile canaliculli within the liver lobules and this will lead to a mild level of cholestasis, as indicated by the mildly elevated bilirubin.

But it seems that you are having success in resolving your fatty liver issue since both your LFTs and bilirubin levels are now normal. So keep up the good work!

As far as the pain and headache are concerned, these are not liver related. So you might want to see your doctor about it if it persists. Take care.

My last LFT  report was quite normal,the LFT
previous to this indicate a mild elevation in
Bilirubin. SGOT and SGPT are normal.

Scan indicates grade 1 fatty liver.
