Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your symptom is mostly related to liver pathology.
Liver is situated in the right side under ribs.
You are taking alcohol since very long time.
And alcohol ingestion is the biggest risk factor for liver diseases like hepatomegaly, hepatitis, cirrhosis etc.
So, first of all, quit alcohol ingestion as soon as possible.
Better to get done ultrasound examination of abdomen, liver function test to rule out liver diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
