Lower Chest Pain after Gallbladder Removal Posted: 05-21-08 13:58pm
I had my gallbladder removed about a month
ago, no stones just attacks. I am 24 and
otherwise in good health. About a week
ago I started getting attacks in my lower
chest/ribs area. They last about 10
minutes and vary in pain. Sometimes they
are tolerable I just need to sit for a few
minutes and other times I am on the floor
in tears. This morning one woke me up.
The pain can be very intense making it
hard to breath and making me vomit. While
I can feel it coming I don't get much
warning, maybe a minute and that is about
how fast it goes away. I asked my surgeon
when I went back for my check up and he
said it didn't sound related. After
looking online I saw a couple people with
similiar problems but I never found any
detailed information. I don't have health
insurance so I can't afford to keep doing
test until they come up with a solution.
Is this related to the surgery or is it
something completly different? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
