The gall bladder is located on the right side so it's a possibility but unlikely based on your description. If I were in your situation I'd try making healthy lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, give up alcohol etc.) to see if I felt better.

Dr. Melissa Palmer's Guide To Hepatitis and Liver Disease:

"Most people with liver disease expect to feel pain over their liver. This type of pain is known as right upper quadrant pain tenderness (RUQT). However, RUQT is rarely due to chronic liver disease. RUQT occurs most commonly in the acute stages of liver disease, such as in acute viral hepatitis. It may occasionally occur when one experiences a flare-up of a chronic liver disease, although these flare-ups are uncommon. It is most often caused by acute inflammation, irritation, and distention of the liver's surface. Otherwise, the liver is rarely tender.

If pain in the region of the liver is experienced, other causes must be considered. For example, it may indicate gallstones, which happen to be associated with many liver diseases."

My wife suffered from this until she found she was gluten intolerant. When she changed her diet the symptoms disappeared. We gather this sort of discomfort involving upper right hand quadrant discomfort can have a number of causes including ulcers.
