Experiencing Intermittent Pain Near Bulge In Belly Area Very Near To Liver, Gallbladder And Colon

I am a male 65, 5'10" 310# I have a slight bulg in my belly area. It is just below my right ribs about five inches from the point of my sternum. I have experienced intermittent pain at this location for the past year. I am concerned that it is close to my liver and gallbladder as well as my colon. It doesn't react when I have gas and pressed on by my fingertips.

Hi.You should get one ultrasound whole abdomen done at fasting level to see the cause of this bulge .It is already 1 year now.By that time I will advise you not to take spicy, fatty meal .Take some antispasmodic for pain and a proton pump inhibitor, like Pantiprazole.
thanks.
