What is this pressure/pain on my liver area?

I have this constant pressure over my liver area recently that i've had before. It's not as bad this time as last time there was a bit of pain as well but it seems to bring the same symptoms each time with it. My sinuses get clogged, my skin gets flaky and red and i get anger. I also get right shoulder pain and sometimes pain in my right hand. Also i don't know if this is related but sometimes (like every 6-7 months on average) i get a really bad chest pain for like over a week and it does be really intense and hurts a lot. I've always assumed it was from exercising though as it usually comes after that. I had my liver tested and the tests showed it to be optimal. So i'm very confused as to what's going on. Also alcohol makes me way worse. The pain is more of a burning sensation. Also when i press down on the area i feel a sort of clicking.

Hi

I think you need to see your GP about all these pains and problems you are having. If alcohol makes the pains worse the obvious thing to do it to stop drinking.

Good luck

I will thanks but do you have an opinion on what it could be?

Not really but if you drink and you're having pain in your liver area then you do need to get it checked out properly. It may be fatty liver which, if you stop drinking the liver can repair itself. But continuing to drink can bring on a whole host of illnesses and disease. It's just not worth it. Look after yourself and live up to " your name " healthiskey !

I'd be interested to know what your doctor finds.

Best wishes, Laura x
