Can A Low Functioning Gallbladder Cause Shortness Of Breath?
I was recently diagnosed with a very low functioning gallbladder. I have not had any recent attacks, therefore I haven't taken any steps toward surgery. I have recently started having some shortness of breath upon exertion. (do not smoke and blood pressure is good, overall good shape) I was wondering if there could be any connection with the shortness of breath and my low functioning gallbladder?

Hi,
To think that such breathing difficulties can be caused by gallbladder so it is more likely there is some lung or heart diseases and so this should be ruled out first. Gallbladder stones will cause more likely sharp pain right upper part of abdominal cavity. Wish you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
