Could Fatty Liver Or Hyperacidity Be Causing Uneasiness Underneath Ribs?
Sir, since last 3 to 4 months, I am having uneasy feeling under the ribs on the right side, as if something inside is swollen. I have done LFT and SG. The LFT is well within normal range but SG shows fatty liver Grade I. Further since last 3-4 months I am suffering from hyper-acidity. I have consulted a gastroenterology specialist, who has carried an endoscopy procedure as well. The report is all OK. Apart from that I am consuming BP tablets. My lipid profile is well within range as of date. I just want to know, why I am feeling the heavyness below my ribs on the right hand side. Should I go for any further medical tests.

Hi,
Since your endoscopy, LFT, lipid profile report and SG are with in normal limits you need not to worry for any pathology. Grade 1 fatty liver does not presents with swelling of liver. You need to regularly do exercises for at least 30-40 min / day and also have food in frequent intervals. These will help you.
