Lately when I'm eating or drinking, I've been feeling this pain in my esophagus, especially when I swallow. It's been happening since yesterday. Normally everything's fine, but this is really bothering me. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?

I've just been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I'm getting this pain around the liver area sometimes. All my blood work is coming back normal, which is good, but I'm still worried. Any thoughts on what I should do about the fatty liver and the pain I'm feeling there?

Losing 3-5% of body weight through regular exercise and a healthy diet can effectively resolve grade 1 fatty liver in many cases. Limiting alcohol, reducing sugarrefined carbs, increasing fibre, drinking more water and managing conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol also support liver health.
