What Could Random,very Dull Ache In Lower Right Abdomen Be With A Fullness Feeling?

Hello, I am male, 28, 330 lbs about 5 9 . For about a week or so now I have been noticing a very random, very dull achy almost fullness feeling in my lower right side, I suppose just under where my ribs stop...It doesn t seem to get worse really, rather it just comes and goes but it s definitely a new feeling for me! Also its more mildly uncomfortable & annoying than painful. I have tried pressing on the area to see if its tender to touch but its really hard to tell for me because I have a lot of body fat in the way! (I am going to see my DR about this but I am kind of bugging myself out now) Having an anxiety disorder sure doesn t help ! :) I have a shit diet, one that I am determined to change in 2014, but I feel like maybe that has something to do with it? I never notice blood in stool or anything but I def dont have a regular bowl movement. I never have a hard time going to the b-room but the stools are different in consistancy all the time (ranging from hard to liquid) Anyway, I tried to give as much info as I could, and I know this is probably not the best question for an online thing but like I said I am bugging myself out hard now until that DR appointment so any info or ideas I guess would be great in the meantime! Thanks for your time!

Hi, I went through your query. Fullness or heaviness on the right side is probably due to enlargement of some organ. It could be liver or gall bladder likely. Both these organs could be enlarged due to a number of causes like hepatitis, fatty liver, infections and of course neoplastic. You are already visiting a surgeon who can examine you. You should also get a liver function test and an ultrasound abdomen done. Hope this helps.
