hai,
as multiple cyst liver disease or solitary nonparasitic cysts of the liver is indicated only in symptomatic patients. Asymptomatic patients do not require therapy, because the risk of developing complications related to the lesion is lower than the risk associated with treatment.
since you got the symptoms ,should be evaluated properly.
you need gastroenterologist opinion as well as CT scan abdomen to proceed further.
