Are Excessive Hunger & Acid Symptoms of Gallstones? Posted: 09-09-06 06:03am
I have been diagonsed with gallstones. I
have intermittent pain more intense under
my right rib but also at the bottom of my
left rib and in the centre of my chest and
throat. I get a terribe hunger pain
along with this as if I haven't eaten in
weeks [even if I have just eaten]. The
pain in my left and right side is a sickly
ache. When I get these pains I also get
sudden tiredness which goes as soon as the
pain does. I get the pain
intermittently. It can go for a week or
[as it is presently] a few times a day.
It also varies in intensity. When it is
at it's worst I lie down and this seems to
make it disappear.
Has anyone had problems with gallstones
and had excessive hunger and acid?
I will be going for a gastroscopy shortly
to rule out an ulcer.
