Stomach issue

I am having stomach heaviness every time it seems fullness of stomach without even eating some thing

Weakness, foamy urine & scalp bumps

I have been feeling weak from last 3-4 months. Sometimes I notice foam or bubbles in my urine. I also get painful, pimple-like bumps on my scalp/head, especially when I feel stressed. They are painful when I touch them. I would like to know what might be causing these symptoms and whether I need any blood or urine tests.

Intermittent pain on the right side

I have been experiencing occasional pain on the right side, below the ribs, for about 3 months. The pain stopped completely for some time but started occurring occasionally again. I had an ultrasound, which showed mild hepatomegaly (mildly enlarged liver). I took two bottles of Adlive, after which the pain improved, but it later returned occasionally. The pain is now less than before. Please advise what could be the possible cause and whether I need any medicine.

Possible bat or anything

Yesterday i post about while I was sitting on a back seat of a  riding bike at night. Something black colour thing came from above floor level and touch my cheeks and went. And there was no bite and scratch and pain. So i doubt if it was a bat exposure, most of the doctors here  said that i should get vaccinated. But I consult two physician doctors here in Bangalore and they said my face is ok and don't suggest any vaccine. Since I am concerned about the doctor's opinions here and the two consult doctors opinions, i am very nervous. What should I do ? Should I take the vaccine as the incident was on Sunday night around 9 o clock. My family not supporting to take vaccine as no Mark found.
