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.
