What Causes Pain And Discomfort In The Upper Right Quadrant?

Im having pain and discomfort in the upper right quadrant where the gallbladder and liver are. the pain is more when pressure is applied (even light pressure). And the discomfort is worse in the mornings. I do not feel hungry in the morning which is really unusual for me and thinking of certain foods almost makes me gag. I have had light symptoms for years just of being sore to the touch but this is worse. For a short time a few years ago the Dr. put me on atorvastatin for high cholesterol and it made it worse and raised some of the liver enzymes. After discontinuation the symptoms lessened but never completely went away. Now in the last few weeks its been worse. Any suggestions? I d rather go a natural route if there is one. I ve been drinking Vinegar in water in the morning sometimes and it seems just a little better but not enough to tell if there is a correlation.

Hi Dear
Right hypochondrial pain is usually due to gall bladder and CBD related problems mostly stone related ,fatty liver or chronic liver illness does not cause pain ,i would suggest you get a USG of liver and hepatobiliary system done and take a tablet of albendizole which is antihelmenthic a single dose is suficiant.
