Is it normal that one side of my stomach has more muscle than the other ?

when I feel my right rib I feel muscle there and whatnot but when I feel my left it feels the left rib is like skinnier in a sense and it sticks out alittle more and the left abdomen has less muscle than the right IS it normal?

    after 2 weeks of working out eating healthy standing long hours ( i was leaning to 1 side at the time ive noticed ) protien shakes around 1200 cals a day or more.... also 4 Ls of water a day ( exercises include 6 min abs bike riding dumbbells sqauts and palaetes ) also abdominal massages to try loosen up the abdominal fat ( i am skinny ) i noticed the left side poking out alot more then the right side next to the belly button... i thought :o ab!!??? then i realised no swelling... with a dul pain that radiates sometimes down to my hip bone
    im having a masive anxiety attack over this or its real ? first thing i thought was stomach cancer ? small intestine cancer ? then i thought i dont wanna tell my parents this and stress them out first dr said its normal just the intestine that moves i gave it 4 weeks with no exercises
    it was still there the 2nd dr said its abnormal but i shouldnt worry and relax come back in 2 weeks so i did so now he said he cant feel nothing while the abdominals have swollen... ( it goes up and down ) after all of this im due for scans tomorrow wich freak me out making me wanna just sleep and not worry but i cant cause i dislocated my arm for the 2nd time and cant sleep proper
    ive also cleaned out a house im doing up to set for ppl to rent out and there was mice feccies if theres any diseases in that ??
    but the drs think im mad and no1 cares
    does anyone have any idea what this could be ??????( the dr also said while examined its not a hernia or a ceptic ulcer )

    tomorrow i get an ultra sound and i wanna spew up
    im scared that if they find something ill have to sneak it around my family and get it all done
    also my arms dislocated the other day and im now feeling like im broken
    this sucks

    Yes, this is totally normal. Not only are our bodies naturally not totally symmetrical, but you might use the muscles on your right side more than the left (esp. if you're right handed), which would make them larger.

    As I have gotten older I have noticed such things though out my body. Slight differences. No one is perfectly the same on both sides of there body. Its normal.
