You are suffering from intermittent right sided abdominal pain. You have been suffering from this intermittent pain since 2 years. You should get clinically examined by GP, get required blood tests, investigations and imaging tests done to detect the factors causing you the symptoms. Medical conditions related with your symptoms may be liver dysfunction, liver cyst, ovarian cyst, abdominal cysts, GERD, gall stones, IBS, indigestion, appendicitis, etc.
