Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Uneasiness below right rib cage is generally brought about by gall bldder inflammation,liver inflammations either alcoholic or non alcoholic,fatty liver,gastritis,GERD etc
Since you have got sonography done,it rules out liver and gallbladder inflammation.
But sonography doesn't reveal anything about gastritis,GERD,esophagitis etc
If you feel that you suffer from frequent acidity,dyspepsia,bloating,heaviness in abdomen,then you may be having gastritis or esophagitis or GERD ( acid reflux ). This could be due to use of alcohol or excessive use of pain killers etc.
If you are experiencing such symptoms,then You must consult a gastroenterologist and get an endoscopy and a possible MRI abdomen done to find the cause.
As far as your stomach getting huge is concerned,it may be due to deposition of belly fat,which generally takes place in people who are lethargic and sedentary and don't do any exercises and take excess of calories.
You must cut your calorie intake and must do regular exercises,as you are very young and so can do vigorous exercises to take care of your weight.
I hope it helps however ou may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck

Have already done a MRI last year..so is it required to do again....
Hello,
I advised for MRI because you got it done in August last year and your current problems regarding heaviness in right rib cage are for past few months only.
I deally you should consult a gastroenterologist and then let him decide whether you require a MRI or not.
In my opinion,endoscopy is the most important investigations and should be done first.
