I'm really worried about my health and could use some advice. I've been dealing with Spleenomegaly and Portal Vein Hypertension for the past four years, and on top of that, I've got esophagus varices. I recently had EVL banding done twice, but honestly, I haven't noticed any improvement. I'm just not active at all, and it's really bothering me. Can you help me understand the root cause of all this and what might be a permanent solution?
