Right upper quadrant pain

Right upper quadrant pain

Hi I'm a 29 y/o Filipino female and experiencing increasing right upper quadrant pain. I haven't been checked due to insurance issues. I would like to get some form of help if possible. The pain on my right upper quadrant almost below the rib cage is dull. It increases when I raise my right hand. I am also having some type of bubbling/vibration that radiates to my right upper chest. I have no idea what's causing this. I am a smoker but have recently quit. I feel like this pain has increased more and more since I quit. My father also suffered and passed away from colon CA at 40 y/o. I have no trouble moving my bowels. Also, I have been gassy. I upped my vegetable intake, this might be the cause. I used to have some pain on the left upper quadrant but it went away. It is more pronounced on the right. And the bubbling is traveling to my chest area, it's a very weird sensation and it's freaking me out! I'm thinking it's my liver. I have also been taking some diet pills (alli, slimquick). My assumption is that I have a swollen liver and it cannot handle all of the supplements I've been taking. I'm not a heavy drinker, just socially. Please help me figure this out before I check myself in, which will be most likely in 2 weeks. I'm hanging on until then. Since I mentioned that it could be my liver, I don't think I'm jaundice. My natural undertone is yellow because I'm Asian? Or I may just be overlooking it or in denial. Thank you. Any suggestions/comments is appreciated.
