liver problems

[dianne39]

I recently went to the doctor for pain i was having around my belly button and on my right side. Then doctor thinks its umbilical hernia and found out the my liver was swollen. They did an ultrasound and it showed my liver was enlarged. I'm waiting for an HIDA scan w/cck thats not for another 2 weeks and the endoscopy is for another 3 weeks.I feel tired and weak all the time and  I have shortness of breathe and often feel dizzy and light headed  with headache.I was feeling constipated but took some dulcolax and that helped. Now my body has a nervous feeling which causes me to go to the bathroom more often and previous 2 times i got blood when i wiped. My stomach feels so uncomfortable and bloated and I now have pain going to my back and feeling sore on my left side under my breast.Please someone help.

Hi dianne,
I am also 39 with an umbilical hernia. Not to scare you but I have cirrhosis. Mine was caused from drinking like a mad man for to many years. well I fixed that problem, 11 months ago but unfortunatly this is what I have to deal with now. There really is not much anyone can tell you about what might be wrong but from the test that your doctor is performing it sure sounds like he/she is going to take really good care of you. Also dont worry at all about the endoscopy, ive had it dont twice and you never even feel a thing. actually the procedure only take 5 minutes but you will be sleeping great longer than that. Be sure and add me along with jenny if you ever need any help with any questions. Take care and I wish you the best.
