Feel Internal Lump Under Rib Cage, Gurgles On Touch, Drink Alcohol
Okay, Thanks.
I have what feels like an internal lump "feeling" (not an actual lump that I can feel) under my left side rib cage; slightly to the the front of centre; along the rib cage. Once when I pressed under the rib cage to try and see if I could feel anything, it kind of gurgled. Just a bit. It hasn't done it again. I have no pain. Just the sensation of it being there. Its been 3-4 months now and symtoms are the same. No change. I would be considered a moderate+ drinker. Thought I'd flag Liver just so you can consider it. Thank you. What a wonderful service.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail.
The lump like feeling that you are talking about could be a diseased stomach. many times if there is an ulcer in the stomach, it leads to this type of sensation. Or there could be a oesophageal hernia . Both can be confirmed by getting a OGD endoscopy done.
One thing is sure, that it cannot be anything serious.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
