Mild pain in stomach
I'm feeling mild stomach pain on right side under ribs sometimes pain in center and left side of stomach. My bowel habit change from last  year. Now I have to go for stool 2-3 times in a day. And also stool comes in little parts not like previously tight stool. Sometimes I found little mucus in stools. I drink alcohol and smoke. Yesterday I got lft and lipid profile but it is normal only triglycerides out of range 205. I have no other issues like nausea, vomiting, fever and loose weight problems
