I have recently been on a diet and have lost 8 kilos, but my upper abdomen hasn't decreased in size. When feeling in the middle under my rib cage i notice an oblong lump about 8cm long and 5cm wide. My upper abdomen is pretty flat apart from this lump and when I push on it it's quite tender but quite deep inside. I have had indigestion off and on for the last 4 weeks and in the last two weeks felt unwell and a bit dizzy.When I eat some foods my whole stomach and abdomen swell quite a lot. Also when I am sitting it feels like there is something pushing on my Diaphragm.Any ideas?

You lost I think 17 or 18 pounds. Question is how and are you eating enough if your dizzy. Could be feeling your liver don't know but you should see your Dr. regarding. What is your total weight? Are you following a healthy diet and have you lost too much? all of which you should discuss with him, as well as the gastric symptoms. Good Luck
