If i press down under my right lower rib cage area i can actually feel my liver a little. It's not swollen but I didn't realize the liver hung down under the rib cage there. Does it? Or maybe it's stressed a bit from something.

I believe that would be your gall bladder. I just had
mine removed and that is where it hangs. It may be inflamed. Have you had any attacks that felt like someone was sitting on your chest or like a heart attack? It took a year for them to decide mine wasn't stress and was really an infected gall bladder with stones.

It could be your liver, and Andrea is also right, it could be your gallbladder, though more likely it's the former.
