I have Portal hypertension. I also suffer the same pain. I just got diagnosed a month ago. My GI doctor has done many test. Because my spleen and liver are enlarged they have done a liver ultrasound which has measured the how it stretches it doesn’t show anything. However the blood work shows something different so he is doing an upper endoscopy. I suggest since you have portal hypertension. I would suggest You get a GI doctor and get bloodwork done and get test done to check your spleen and liver to make sure you don’t have hepatitis or to make sure you don’t have liver
fibrosis or worse. Having portal hypertension can lead to a lot of possibilities. I wish the best of luck. I do understand your pain though. I have them too.

I have cirrhosis also that comes with enlarged spleen enlarged liver, portal hypertension which can cause varices which is enlarged blood vessels due to pressure from the portal vein. I had to have bands put around these blood vessels so they don't tear and bleed. Acistes also comes with liver disease that causes the swollen belly it's fluid from the liver. You need to have that drained. And yes there's pain all the time I also have gallstones now a new thing has raised as if that isn't enough. Heart problems! Due to too much pressure in the arteries also caused by the portal hypertension. It's starting to get scary . I wish there was a way to reverse this but unfortunately not. Only a new liver will solve this. My doctor has yet to put send me for a workup so I can get on the list but I believe it's about time to do that. All the best you all I hope this is some info you can use.
