Tickly Ache In Upper Right Abdomen Under Ribs. Heavy Drinker, High Reverse T3 Levels, On Cytomel. Liver Problem ?

For about 7 months now I ve had a tickly, sometimes achy fullness in my upper right abdomen under my ribs. It seems it occurs right where the liver is located. It doesn t really hurt, but is just strange and worrisome. If I push on the area or on my back lower ribs, it seems tender. It is not constant, but comes and goes and sometimes I will go several days without symptoms. I have a history of heavy drinking and binge-drinking, but I had a full blood draw and all liver numbers were normal. The only issue was high reverse T3 levels, which I am currently taking Cytomel for. Any chance I could be experiencing liver symptoms because of the drinking?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that you have got some pathology in your liver giving you this problem.
This might be due to fatty liver, infective hepatitis, some problem with gall bladder.
Consult Gastro enterologist and go for fully check up.
Ok and bye.
