I'm experiencing a burning sensation in my chest area for about a year now. I've had tests like a 2D echo, endoscopy, and X-rays, but everything seems to come back normal. I've also consulted with gastroenterologists and general physicians, even cardiologists, and they all say there's nothing wrong. But I still have this burning feeling every day. I'm not sure what to do next, and it's really concerning me. Could you offer some advice or ideas on what could be causing this?

drink plenty of water , take tablet pantop for 3 days

I'm really worried because I've just been diagnosed with a grade 2 fatty liver and my sgpt is at 70.05. I've started feeling a dull abdominal pain, and even though I've cut out oily junk food and now walk about 3-4 kms daily, I'm struggling to get a good night's sleep, probably because of stress. Lately, I've noticed that after eating cabbage sabji for dinner, I can smell cabbage in my stool the next day. Could this mean something, or am I just overthinking it? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Its great that youve made positive changes like walking and avoiding oily foods. Fatty liver can cause mild discomfort, and stress might be affecting your sleep. The cabbage smell in your stool is likely due to digestion, which is normal, but if the pain persists or worsens, I recommend consulting your doctor for further guidance. Managing stress and improving sleep quality can also help with your overall health.
