strange ribs feeling

anybody linked anxiety to a strange discomfort under lower ribs;a feeling like your liver/spleen is pushing through your ribs;I have been under massive anxiety bordering on depression(frequent urination another symptom but over it now) I had a tender spot on right side around the liver ;scan and blood test found nothing;doc prescribed lansasprozol?(spelling) said if it was an ulcer then that would get rid; it did and the liver /ribs sensation and a constant burping went too; i now fret the liver thing will return and wasnt just anxiety

Sounds like a legitimate digestive problem (possibly caused by anxiety, but not a symptom of an anxiety attack). I've had similar symptoms that came with heartburn and nausea as well. I was also unsure if this was a symptom of anxiety or a digestive problem - I think because the sensations themselves induced hypochondiac-y anxiety so strongly. I switched to an easy-to-digest diet (lack of medical insurance didn't allow for a doctor's visit), to see if it was an ulcer or inflammed intestines. It's been 2 months, and my digestive problems have improved - though my anxiety hasn't.
