Can Gall Stone Attack Happen At Day And Night?
I have just been diagnosed with gallstones.
My manager at work does not believe gallstone attacks should happen during the day whilst at work.
She believes attacks are at night and to do with acid reflux!!
i say attacks can happen any time in the day.
Who is correct? As i get attacks both day and night

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Though gallstone attack can occur anytime, it is more common during the evening and night. The pain usually lasts for few hours. It is usually felt in the right upper abdomen and may radiate to the right shoulder and to the area between the shoulder blades.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
