Pain...Gallbladder?

What can the vets tell me about gall bladder attacks?

For the last couple days, I have had pain at top of my stomach that radiates to the right and into the chest area. It comes and goes. Twice I have thrown up something that looks like bile.

Debating whether or not to head to the ER.

TIA

That does sound like a gall bladder attack! I ended up in the ER with my attacks before I had it removed. You definitely need to get an ultrasound. Can you call your clinic Monday maybe and try to get in?

Thanks Aiden,

I do have gall stones, had them before RNY. I have an appointment with Dr Jules on the Jan 21. Was hoping to hold off until I see him.I would like him to take my gall bladder out as per Audrey's suggestion at my clinic.

If it persists I will go to local ER.

Funny how the pain goes away after I throw up the bile...so strange.

 

 

I've had three gallbladder attacks so far. Never thrown up bile, though. The radiating pain is pretty classic as symptoms go, though. This site has a pretty good description of the symptoms... http://chealth.canoe.ca/channel_condition_info_details.asp?d isease_id=159&channel_id=7&relation_id=55689

I have had attacks but have never thrown up bile, if that were me I would be high tailing to the ER as I would be concerned it could turn into a bad situation. 

More throwing up bile...off to the ER.

Good luck, thinking of you. Keep us posted.

Thank you

Home from the ER all drugged up with an appointment to return in the morning for an ultrasound.

 

Thanks everyone for your input and all.
