Is Gall Bladder Stone Causing Indigestion, Gas, Heartburn, Nausea, Diarrhea And Chest Pain?
Over a year ago I had a ct scan that revealed a 16mm partially calcified stone. I still have my gallbladder but am having an attack every time I turn around and everything I eat gives me indigestion, gas, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea and chest pain. Would need to be taken care of STAT?
noted history of gallstones. yes, all the symptoms mentioned may be caused by your gallstone disease. other considerations that must be ruled-out are cardiopulmonary and gastric pathologies. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. definitive treatment if it is indeed a gallstone disease is cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gallbladder). it may be done laparoscopically (goldtstandard) or thru open technique. low fat low salt diet is also advised.
hope this helps.
good day!!
