What Causes Right-sided Chest Discomfort And Breathlessness?

Hi.In my US, liver size and shape is normal but mild coarse echo texture seen. Rest everything was fine. In fibroscan the result was 9.2 kPa. Endoscopy was normal. Always remains discomfort in right side of chest. Sometimes very short feeling of nausea. Very short feeling of short breadth. Gall bladder neck has shown small polyp of 3 mm size.Can you pls suggest? Can I take alcohol in moderation once in two weeks? Manish kumar.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, you should quit alcohol completely.
Your ultrasound report is suggestive of mild coarse echo texture.
This is beginning of liver damage.
And alcohol is known to cause liver damage.
So if you drink alcohol further, this will damage your liver more and cause cirrhosis (permanent damage of liver).
So better to stop alcohol habit for rest of your life.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
