7. Feeling of Fullness Below the Ribs: The Discomfort You Shouldn’t Ignore
Feeling full isn’t always related to a hearty meal. In the case of SMZL, an uncomfortable sensation of fullness below the ribs is a symptom that you should not ignore. This could accompany the enlarged spleen, and it’s often a subtle sign that people tend to overlook.
The spleen and liver are situated below the ribs. An enlarged spleen or liver due to SMZL could exert pressure, causing this uncomfortable feeling. It might not be constant but can happen often enough to disrupt daily life and should warrant attention.
This feeling of fullness can be very subtle. It might not even feel like pain, but more like a consistent or recurrent discomfort. Yet, it’s a sign that something within your abdominal area is awry. (7)
