Gallstones?
Posted: 12-18-05 05:45am

Went to doc 2 weeks ago with pain in upper right chest. Took xrays, ekg, and blood work, everything came back clear. He told me it could be a muscle strain. Last tuesday night, after eating a burger and fries, I got cramps in my right abdomen just under the last rib, tightness in the middle of my chest, and pain in the back of my right shoulder blade, thought I was having a heart attack. Went to doc the next day, told him what was going on, he gave me meds for acid reflux, told me to take them for 2 weeks and come back after 2 weeks for an ultrasound of the gallbladder. I have been having gas, belching, and indigestion along with the pain in the right abdomen and in the right shoulder, and middle back pain although not severe, usually after eating or getting really hungry. Could this be gallstones?

Well yes it does sound very much like gallstone/gallbladder symptoms. The ultrasound should show it

It does sound like gallbladder. I had very similar symptoms before surgery, without gallstones. My gallbladder ended up being diseased.

Hope all goes well for you.
