Q: Low-functioning Gallbladder With No Stones
asked by: Heydoo on September 30th, 2007

Hi Everyone! I had a Hidascan and upper endoscopy at the hospital last week. Endo showed everything's normal in my upper digestive tract. I have a question about having a gallbladder that functions at 14% with no stones though.

I've got RUQ discomfort with occasional stabs of pains after I eat. Most of the time I have extremely slow digestion. I can eat dinner and it will still feel like it's in my stomach the next morning. What started me on this quest for a diagnosis was I would get occasional heart palpitations and dizzy spells. I'll feel like the world is going sideways. Went to the ER and was told it was vasovagal reaction. But to what? It happened after I ate a big meal. I can't remember if it was a fatty meal though. Anyway, I made an appointment to have blood work done. I had a pretty thorough work up done (thyroid, hepatic, basic, female hormones, etc.) and all came back normal. I had a 24 hour urine test (checking for adrenal issues) and that came back normal too. Cardio doc did an echo on me and it came back normal too. Everything seemed to point to gallbladder. Half of the doctors I've seen say gallbladder won't cause dizziness or mess with my heart, half say it could.

Anyone out there with gallbladder issues also have these type symptoms?

Thanks,
H.T.

Low BP with gallbladder trouble.
Hello, I found your post and thought it was extremely interesting as my Mum has exactly the same symptoms and the docs are baffled.
Please can you tell me whether you found anything out. I realise this is quite a long time ago for you now though but I'd be grateful for any information.
