What Causes Abdominal Pain After The Removal Of Gall Bladder?
I have had gall bladder surgery, on August 12, will be 2 years ago. But im having some abdominal pain upper and lower. ( I know Ive eaten foods with grease) whenever I do, I go through a heavy nauseated cold sweat, where im literally sweating but im freezing, with severe back and chest pain. sometimes I have difficulty breathing and my arms tingle. My question is should I be concerned if im experiencing these issues but I haven t ate anything greasy for about 5-8days?

hi.
noted history of gallbladder surgery and recent occurrence of abdominal pain. low fat diet is recommended in post-cholecystectomy patients, to lessen the risk of stone recurrence anywhere in the hepaticopancreaticobiliary tract area. retained vs recurrent stone must be ruled-out in your case if your symptoms are persistent/progressive. it is best to consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, ERCP, liver function tests, blood count, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
