Q: Annoying Discomfort Along Lower Right Rib Cage?

For about 4-5 months now I have had an annoying discomfort along the lower part of my right rib cage. It all began when I had gone on a diet and started exercising. I lost close to 30lbs in about 2 1/2 months. Anyway, I have no pain,it is just very annoying like there is something poking me and it could show up one minute on my hip side then on my front side and then sometimes around the line of the rib cage in the back. It all depends on how I am sitting or laying on how it feels. When I yawn or take a deep breath I can feel a sensation like around the gall bladder location or lower, like it is weak or sensitive to the air intake (hard to explain) no pain! Just very uncomfortable and annoying. Btw I have had an ultrasound to see if it was kidney, gall bladde or liver related, test came back normal. I also have been battling vertigo lately. Can anybody please help me with this?

My Symptoms Described Exactly

I suspect(still researching) the colon discomfort is due to diet drinks due to the artificial sweeteners, aspartame, sorbitol, etc. I suspect this as the timing of my symptoms can be directly linked to shortly after switching to diet soda to lower blood trigliceride levels. Since you'd gone on a diet I presume the diet includes sugar substituted foods/drinks. Unrelated, I've had vertigo which was due to high stress and lack of sleep. So, if you're stressing over health issues, and not sleeping, this could be the cause of the vertigo.
