Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would go for a liver function tests, and an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any pathology in the liver due to the anti cholesterol medications. Apart from that, I would also like to examine you clinically to rule out any pathology in the abdomen. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
