What Are The Symptoms Of Enlarged Liver?
I had my annual medical check up and in the process of the test Doctor said she could not feel my liver with the (stethoscope). She asked me to breathe in and out as usual and immediately asked me if I take alcohol. I answered in the affirmative. She then said my liver could be bigger but added she could be wrong until the results of the test is ready in 4 weeks. I am scared What can I do now in this time limbo?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Enlarged liver usually remains asymptomatic. But sometimes it may cause a dragging pain in the right upper abdomen.
If there is any underlying cause like hepatitis or malignancy, it may cause symptoms like pain and jaundice.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
