Hi. Hida scan will give you the most apropriate answer for your gallbladder function, but I think of a gallbladder or better biliary dyschinesia at first and of course your symptoms may be explained by this condition, I repeat if it will be proven by Hida Scan. As for the treatment we can discuss again after the examination.
