Pressure under right rib cage

Hi,
I have had pressure under right rib cage for a few months, in the last week is more significant and a little irritable. Have no other symptoms, other than not much of an appetite (which could be due to very hot weather we are having). I eat and exercise well. Do I need to see a doctor?
Thanks

Hi katie9111,

If you have had a pressure that has not resolved, I think it is best to see a doctor to find out what it is.  I know it's not fun to go to the doctor but since it has been a few months.  i think it is time.  Take care. :)
