I had been drinking and doing drugs off and on for 6 years, then quit. Lately I have been experiencing upper right abdominal discomfort, but still have a lot of energy and no other serious symptoms.

Answers:
Many people with cirrhosis have no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. However, as scar tissue replaces healthy cells, liver function starts to fail and a person may experience the following symptoms:

exhaustion


fatigue


loss of appetite


nausea


weakness


weight loss.. it sounds more like a peptic ulcer to me but im not a doctor..

The most common symptom is abdominal discomfort. The discomfort is usually a painful gnawing ache (burning stomach pain), which occurs several days a week, it may occur 2 to 3 hours after a meal and mostly occurs in the night when the stomach is empty. Other symptoms include weight loss, heart burn, poor appetite, burping, bloating (a feeling of fullness in stomach), nausea (stomach upset), vomiting.

Other Answers:
