Ive been having bad indigestion and belching for about a year, with occasional heartburn. In the past few months I've had increased upper right quadrant pain, radiating around my side and into my back and right shoulder blade. It often feels like something is stuck right beneath my ribs on my right side beneath my arm. Pcp prescribed Omeprazole and when sucralfate and when those didn't help referred me to GI. Had normal endoscopy.

Last week I ended up going to the ER for the sharp right side rib pain and nausea, along with squeezing pain right in the center of my stomach beneath my sternum. CT scan in ER was normal, as was blood work, except for some low globulin levels. ER ordered a follow up ultrasound. That ultrasound said gallbladder was normal but gave the following results for liver: "impression: Diffuse coarse and heterogeneous echogenicity in liver may represent a hepatocellular disease, such as cirrhosis or hepatitis."

No one from the hospital or my PCP or GI doctor has commented on this ultrasound report (I've just seen it in MyChart). My question is, are these symptoms related to this comment about my liver? What does it mean? Is there a chance this is still gallbladder related, should I ask GI Dr for a HIDA scan??

I'm just frustrated that none of my doctors seem to want to talk to me about it. Meanwhile I'm still nauseous every day, with occasional right sided discomfort and the abdominal squeezing pain. Nothing is debilitating but I'm definitely losing weight because of not wanting to eat much. I'm sick of feeling crappy 😵‍💫 would love to hear what it ended up being for anyone who has had a similar situation!!
