I've noticed something odd with my stomach latelylike the left side is getting bigger than the right. During the day it's fine, but at night it feels like it's full of air and can be kind of noisy and annoying. And when I try to sleep, it's causing a really uncomfortable inner temperature increase, like my body's overheating and it makes me feel weak. Any idea what might be going on?

I've been having pain on the front side of my lower left rib cage for the past two months, and I also noticed that my left rib cage is slightly higher than my right one. Plus, I have hepatitis B and I'm currently undergoing treatment for that. I'm a bit worried and unsure about which specialist I should consult. Could you guide me?
