Last week I started to experience
pain/discomfort in my lower right rib
area. It radiated to my back, side, and
lower stomach. I also felt bloated and
couldn't pull my stomach in. It hurt to
walk and was uncomfortable to breathe
deeply or talk. I had four really bad
episodes. This happened mostly after
eating heavy. The severety has
decreased, and I am now experiencing much
more subtle cramping. A couple days
later I started to feel weak. I am
currently trying to get health insurance
and can only go the hospital in an
absolute emergency. The bill would be a
nightmare.
Question 1:
does this sound like gallbladder problems?
(my other thoughts were pancreas.)
though gallbladder problems do run in my
family. I am 24.
Question 2:
if so, is it normal for them to subside or
do they normally just keep getting worse?
Should I still be worried? Maybe I just
had a strained muscle or something?
Any advice would be much appriciated.

It sounds like it very well could be your
gall bladder....Yes you need to see a
doctor since we are not docs on here and
it could only get worse.I have recently
been having symptoms like yours and ended
up I need to have my gall bladder
removed.Hida scan 15%...Which was not
good.They will do an ultrasound and a scan
which is painless and over with before you
know it.
Here's some of the symptoms I had and am
having...
Pain in right lower ribcage
pain in kidneys
feels like I may have a heart attack
(can't breathe,pain in chest ,neck and
shoulder..Right mostly)
heartbeat in right lower ribcage
gas,belching and bloaty...Makes you feel
crappy to walk or talk...Stomach craps
headache(not sure if that's related??)
i even have pain in my nose like sinus
problems although that may be something
else..
Please go see a doctor because I was told
if not treated it can affect your
pancreas...Which is a vital organ...Not
trying to scare you but not wanting you to
try to self treat or self medicate
it.....You'll feel better,trust
me...Goodluck.
Well, i've experienced the same except for
bloating. I just got back from seeing a
specialist. He told me that its
constipation. However my bowels are fine.
I am book for a hide a scan on the 21st
of june, he says that it will come back
fine.
