An update...

Since I posted above, I have had an endoscopy, an abdominal MRI, and another ultrasound of the liver to check blood flow. The MRI was normal, including the liver, which is weird considering the first ultrasound said fatty liver. The blood flow liver ultrasound was also normal. So it sounds like the liver isn't too bad.

The endoscopy revealed gastropathy in lower stomach, basically an erosive inflammation. Probably caused by NSAIDS, alcohol, and or anxiety. I'm on prescription Pepcid to heal it. The nausea I had seems to be getting a bit less frequent.

So I now know there was a physical component to the nausea, not just anxiety. And alcohol may have been a cause. And maybe the nausea was even causing the anxiety, I don't know. But today is 30 days without a drink for me. It's probably been almost 30 years since I've gone that long.
