When I Lye On My Left Side, It Feels Like A Weight Has Fallen To That Side Inside My Body. Could That Be A Tumor?

If you are overweight or obese, it could be the extra weight of the stomach/belly you are feeling when gravity shifts it downward.

or

It could be a tumor that needs to be checked out. Best to see a doctor for proper diagnoses.

Thank you! I have checked it out before, but all they gave me was an X-Ray and they said if there was any tumor, the Xray would have shown it. But yes, it's not all the time, but very, very often

An MRI picks up soft tissue problems better than just a plain x-ray. Also cat scans will pick some things up. I have been told recently that cat scans for bones and MRI for soft tissue.
