liver pain areas - #15991

Arnav

I am really concerned about these ongoing twinges in my side, and it feels kinda like liver pain areas. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but now I can't ignore it. Like three weeks ago, I started noticing this dull ache on my right side, just under my ribcage. I thought maybe it was just a muscle thing or I pulled something while working out. But it keeps coming back, and sometimes it feels like it radiates outwards, into other liver pain areas, and honestly, I'm kinda freaked out. I tried taking some over-the-counter pain meds which helped for a bit, but they don’t really solve the problem. I’m worried – could this be serious? I did some research, and I found out that liver pain areas can sometimes reflect issues with digestion or even gallbladder problems. I've had some nausea too, especially after eating heavier meals. I know I should probably see a doctor, but what should I expect? Should I be asking about liver pain areas specifically, or are there other things that could be causing this? Like what tests should I consider? Any thoughts would be super helpful because it's really hard to focus on work with this hanging over me!
