Hey gents,
Looking for some guidance and advice here please.
The other day I had some severe stomach pains, no vomiting, slight fever, I didn't think twice, I just drove myself to the emergency.
Doc's preformed a CT scan on my abdominal area to make sure it wasn't pancreatitis or kidney related.
I got the A OK from the docs other then a very high enzyme in my pancreas which indicates I drank too much and/or I drink to much.
t
The docs were not concerned about the results, (again these are emerge docs) however, because I'm a health nut, like most of you, the two things that stood out to me are
moderate hepatic steatosis and mild atherosclerotic calcifications of the normal calibre abdominal aorta, the latter much more concerning.
When the test was performed, last week, I'm on 500mg test E and 400mg Mast E (3 weeks in)
No prior issues.
The mild fatty liver I'll chalk it up to my drinking, which is only whisky and or vodka straight. I can fix this. I can attest it's not diet related.
I get an complete blood work every 6 months and get a echo every year to make sure I'm on point.
My liver values via blood work are all in range.
I'll post my recent blood work and my echo results right now as well while I was on the above dose.
I have an appointment with my primary care physician in two weeks because I'm anal, but this is what I'm worried about, atherosclerotic calcification abdominal aorta.
Any guidance or suggestions on specific test I should ask my doctor?
Cheers,
Chip
