Does Pain In Upper Right Side Of Abdomen Indicate Gall Bladder Problems?

Hi, I m worried that I might be having issues with my gallbladder. I have sharp pain in my upper right side whenever I eat greasy foods or drink milk. Would you recommend getting this evaluated? Is there any danger to waiting a few days to see if the pain subsides.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Your problem seems to be due to inflammation of gall bladder. There may be gall bladder stone as well.
As such, you should get evaluated as complications of gall bladder inflammation may be troublesome.
If you want to wait for a few day, be watchful for fever, jaundice and increase in pain that makes you significantly uncomfortable.
But better is to get evaluated.
Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Take care.
