Doubtful: If you don't have a history of shooting drugs, nasal drugs, sex w/partners who did above, or men who have sex with men, unsterile tattoos, transfusions before 1993 (or in foreign countries), then you don't really have risk factors for hep c. Pressure on right side could be liver, gallbladder, duodenum, colon, small bowel, kidney. May just be gas. See your doc.
