Over the last couple of weeks at various times I have been getting sharp, grabbing even contracting pains in either side of my abdomen. This happens sometimes when I lean over a certain way but have even had it during the night while I am asleep. It has awakened me like a twisting pain. I have had gas pains in the past but nothing like this. I have had my gallbladder out now for almost 2 years and currently take 30 mg of prevacid daily for my gastric reflux. All of this started within the last 6 months or so but doesn't do it with any regularity that I can put my finger on. I also take propranolol for migraine headaches, synthroid for hypothyroid and celexa.
