Hello dear user!
Welcome to HCM!
Pain or heavy feeling in the upper right abdomen usually indicates conditions related to the gallbladder or liver. Sometimes people may feel stomach pain, problems with the digestion, nausea etc.
I would recommend you an abdominal ultrasound examination to visualize liver and gallbladder. Meanwhile maintain a healthy diet with with light foods easily digested.
Take care and all the best for you!
