Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would go for a liver function tests, and an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any pathology in the liver due to the anti cholesterol medications. Apart from that, I would also like to examine you clinically to rule out any pathology in the abdomen.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
