Right Side Abdominal Pain

[Tvlr112]

So I do plan to see a doctor soon but I thought I'd just ask in the meantime. I have spoked with a few Telehealth doctors as well but I'm just suspicious...

So about 3 1/2 months ago, I went through a pretty stressful event that led to me not sleeping more than 4 hours per night, on average, the entire time. What officially started the pains was going through a panic attack at the airport. I panicked so badly I was started to get scared and then developed a throbbing pain in my lower right ribcage so, of course, my immediate thought was "Oh no, now I have cancer" (btw, my mother passed from pancreatic cancer that spread to her liver 20 years ago).

So when I got to my destination, my sleep pattern never adjusted, I went down to only eating 1 meal per day, and I never felt the original pain again. Also, I was constantly in panic/anxiety literally every day which I'm sure didn't help. Throughout this time, I had every symptom from excessive flatulence (which was solved by taking probiotics) lack of appetite (comes and goes depending how anxious/depressed I am) random panic attacks from driving down streets I've driven down 100's of times in the past (I would have to pull over and take a break- something I never would've thought to do previously).

Anyway, fast forward to now and I've been having these light pains in the same spot in my right ribcage that goes away after burping/farting/bowel movement and sometimes the same pain in my belly maybe 2 inches to the right of my belly button. I know, it sounds like I'm panicking over gas but I've never had this before.

I've just been so depressed thinking about my mother and how she must have felt with her diagnosis and knowing she was leaving me and my dad. She was a very loving and caring person. And now, I think of leaving my girlfriend from a disease and knowing what that can do to the person watching it. I wouldn't want that to my worst enemy. The dreams I've had...

So yeah, that's my vent. I'd love to hear from anyone willing to respond and I hope you have a great day

There is no one here medically trained to offer you any kind of diagnosis from the symptoms you are describing, it could be any number of easily treated conditions so don't tie yourself up in knots thinking the worse case scenario. You really will need to speak to your doctor first. If it turns out you have a liver condition then please do come back to the forum for advice and support.Good luck.
