Hello doctor I have been facing digestion issues for the past 2 years. Initially I had grade A esophagitis but now it is cured. My digestion problem is almost 80 percent cured but I have noticed that almost every day I feel vibration and bloating in my stomach especially around 1 30 AM to 3 AM. This does not happen if I am not sleeping. I also have fatty liver. My weight is 68 kg and height is 151 cm. Please review my report and let me know if this is a serious issue or not? Thank you in advance.
