### Patient: Doctor, I've been feeling very weak lately and have noticed some itching on my skin. Can you tell me what might be causing these symptoms?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, you might be suffering from esophageal varices, which is a condition where the veins in your esophagus become swollen, leading to internal bleeding and low blood pressure, which can cause weakness. Itching of the skin can also be a symptom of this disease due to liver dysfunction.
