I have a thought I'd like to bring up here and get your opinions on. I know that the

leadsLead poisoning to the possibility of unforeseen surgical effects. I myself have never had a transplant, but have had something that (like a transplant) might have damaged some of the viscera surrounding the liver - namely, a liver biopsy (stage 3 bridging

So, here are my symtpoms:
-Uncontrolled belching (nothing I do would cause aerophagia). Seems triggered by movement and whenever my stomach is full (standing up, sitting down, etc.,)
-Intermittent pain in my right side. It varies quite a bit in intensity, but never hits what I would consider "

So, is it possible that my vagus nerve was damaged in the liver biopsy?
Vagus Nerve -> causes GB contraction -> mild/intense RUQ pain
Vagus Nerve -> causes diaphragm movement -> belching
Vagus Nerve -> parasymphathetic to autonomic nervous system -> low heart rate/pulse -> low blood pressure -> orthostatic hypotension
As a slight confirmation, when I had an ultrasound, my GB was contracted despite my not having eating for past 10 hours.
Also had a upper endoscopy which showed nothing
Or is it possible the scar tissue in my liver is bumping up against something and causing these symptoms?
