Hello, @mylifebe4u, and Welcome to Connect. You are to be commended for your decision to go the the Urgent Care and to follow-up with the doctor afterwards. I am really happy to see that you will now be going for an appointment with a specialist at a University Hospital where you can get next level of care.
I know that you are scared and anxious as you await the Dec appointment, but I can assure you that you will be amazed at the amount of knowledge and information that a specialist will be able to share with you. My advice: Take your husband with you. Take notes. Prepare a list of questions that you and he want to ask.
You are eager for a diagnosis or cause, but it might take a while and require more tests.
When I was in the process of diagnosis, and during my time with a progressive liver disease I was instructed to do 3 basic things: Maintain a healthy and active life style; No over counter medicines or herbs/supplements unless approved by doctor; No alcohol. It looks like you are already working on this!

You have one month until your appointment, so how are you feeling? Will you have to travel a distance for the appointment? Has the doctor office sent any kind of agenda for the appointment, any labs, tests, consults?

I just had scopes done ( Endo & Colon). They did find grade 1 Varces in my Esophagus and Portal Hypertension. They are starting on a Beta Blocker.
