Nausea
Vomiting

Not able to eat or poor appetite

Answer 2

The liver is like a silent organ. Even when the whole
liver has inflammation...there may be no symptoms
of anything being wrong. It isn't until the liver cells die
and they are no longer able to perform the functions, they
once did, to help the body be healthy, that patients
notice anything. There are many people walking around
with liver problems and diseases and don't even know
they have them. The doctor will find it on an evaluation
process for something else. This is why it is very
dangerous. Usually, when the liver has problems, it
starts out as inflammation. This inflammation has to
be treated, and the doctor can do this with medication,
to help the liver heal. If it is not treated, it can lead to
liver cells dying...known as cirrhosis, and then there is
no cure. The doctor can try to prevent the healthy cells
of the liver from also dying...but the scar tissue that
forms inside the liver from the other cells, already dead,
blocks the flow of blood and the healthy cells don't
receive the nourishment and oxygen they need from the
blood and they die also.
If you would like to know the symptoms of cirrhosis, here
is an article about it...there is more than one page here:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cirrhosis/DS00373

There are many causes of cirrhosis of the liver and taking
drugs that go into the toxic range is one of them.
Tylenol with alcohol intake is a definite known damage
to liver cells. There was a lady, that was in the hospital
when we were, who just got a liver transplant...she tried
to commit suicide by taking an overdose of tylenol.

Tylenol isn't a narcotic, it is not addicting in that you
will desire to take it all the time. However, mentally,
it can be, if you have pain and will do whatever it takes
to relieve it. Tylenol is in combinations with so many
other medications, it is easy to overdose on it and not
even know it.

If you have taken tylenol more than what is mentioned
the box as a dosage, it would be best to have the
doctor check your liver. There are two types of blood
tests that he can take that will tell him whether there
is a problem with the liver: The liver enzymes will let
him know if there is damage to the liver and the
liver function tests will tell him if the liver is still able
to perform the functions to keep the body well.
The doctor will usually feel your abdominal area and
see if he can feel changes in your liver. A healthy
liver is soft, pliable, and smooth. Depending on
how far advance the liver becomes being damaged:
it will enlarge in size, feel spongy, start to have
nodules or bumps form, and when the cells die...
it will shrink in size and become hard and even more
lumpy.

There are many drugs on the market that can cause
the liver damage if taken in excess. It is best to read
all warning label on anything you take. To be on the
safe side, it is an excellant idea not to take any
medication without first checking with your doctor,
even over the counter ones or herbs and herbal teas.
All drugs have side effects and interactions with other
drugs...even some interactions with food and drink.


I hope this info is of help to you.
