Abdominal Issues

I am seriously freaking out about all of my symptoms lately.  It all started during the summer with some relux and heartburn.  It was on & off and used OTC meds with success.  For about 9 months I have also had a tingling/muscle spasm in my lower right side pelvic area off and on.  It went away for months but now it is back.  It doesn't hurt just worrisome.  About 3 weeks ago I started feeling pressure in my upper middle abdomen that spreads from side to side.  If you can imagine it starts at the side of one rib (under arm) and spreads to the entire side.  Sometimes it feels like a rubberband around my waist.  The main pressure is directly in the upper middle.  I also have periods of dull sharp pains all over my abdomen with the right rib (under breast area) having the most ache, pain.  But sometimes it is identical in both rib areas.  I am bloated, burp, pass gas a lot.  I wake up in the morning with the pressure in my abdomen.  The pains are not debilitating and do not wake me up at night.  I have occasional hemorrhoids from constipation and occasional diarrhea.  I have been know to have a few too many alcoholic beverages and can't say I am the healthiest eater.  I go through phases.  I suffer from anxiety and the research on the internet say that the symptoms can be liver, pancreatic, stomach disease/cancer, etc.  I am scared to death.  Any input is appreciated.

Sorry I keep  thinking of more symptoms.  The abdomen pain pressure almost feels like it is sore like when you work out but again it stretches from one side of my body to another.  When I bend over or sitting with pore posture it feels like there is something under the rib and in the lower right abdomen area.  When I try to feel for enlarged liver or anything I can't tell if something is swollen or out of sorts.
