How to tell if your liver is struggling?

My doctor mentioned my liver enzymes were a bit high in my last blood test, and told me to be careful. I'm trying to cut down on junk food. What are the typical signs that one's liver is struggling and needs attention?

It's really tough when your body feels off and you don't know why. If your liver is struggling, you might feel a constant, deep fatigue, notice your skin or eyes looking a bit yellowish, or have persistent nausea. It's okay to feel worried, but please get it checked for peace of mind.

Even with regular workouts and good diet, sometimes internal organs can struggle. If your liver is having a hard time, you'll feel more tired than usual, even after rest. You might also see yellowing of skin or eyes, feel bloated, or experience unexplained weight changes. Focus on clean eating and if symptoms persist, get medical advice.

If you're worried about your liver, don't delay. A basic Liver Function Test (LFT) is usually not very expensive, maybe 500-1000 rupees at a good lab. Look out for general fatigue, yellow skin/eyes, unexplained weight loss, or persistent nausea. Spending a little on a test now can save you a lot in the long run.

When your liver is struggling, you'll definitely feel it affecting your energy levels for daily activities or even your walks. Persistent fatigue, easy bruising, or a yellowish tint to your skin/eyes are common signs. If you notice these, it's a clear signal to consult a doctor, rather than just pushing through with exercise.

My liver has definitely seen better days, probably from all the stress of raising two kids! But seriously, if it's struggling, you'll feel like a deflated balloon – tired all the time, maybe a bit yellow, and just generally 'meh'. If that sounds like you, go see a doc, don't let your liver be a silent sufferer like me sometimes!
