About 6 months ago i was diagnosed with a
large stone in my gallbladder after having
3 very bad attacks in a short space of
time, i had a scan and it showed 1 large
stone, i was offered to be referred to
have it out or try a diet change, i
decided on the diet change as i was
overweight and ate a bad diet, so since
then i have lost 24lbs and have been
better, 1 attack since then, but i still
get a tight fullness feeling in my stomach
and chest sometimes if i overeat i get
mild pain and as in last night was woken
with acid and pain (not as bad as an
attack) and this morning it is still not
"right" uncomfortable and indigestion, I
have managed to convince myself now that i
have something much worse, and was
wondering can the gallstone cause these
problems as well as just having attacks,
can gallbladder problems cause indgestion
and stuff without the attacks, i can only
find information on attack symptoms, but i
have these other problems inbetween
attacks, is there anyone else gets trouble
without attacks, and are the attacks
likely to return? I am 33, non smoker, 3
children and a history of gallbladder
problems in the family, most female
relatives have had them removed. Sorry
for all the questions but cant seem to
find any information,hope all this makes
sense, and basically what i want to know
is can the gallbladder cause problems on a
daily basis and not just attacks
thanks

I am 29, male, and very overweight and
suffer from very similar stuff, but I have
not yet been 100 percent diagnosed. I had
problems at Christmas, where I suffered a
terrible bad back along with a tightness
in my stomach and upper area. This lasted
around 4 to 5 days. Then happened again
recently, and then again even sooner. I
felt I couldn't breath as every time I
breathed the tightness was so strong. I am
going for my scan next week. If I find I
have gallstones then it looks like it can
cause what you have, as it sounds very
similar to me.
