I have been suffering from
*high abdominal pain always there sometimes slightly and othertimes it doubles me over but not on the righ side in the centre
*nausia especially in the morning
*flushes,
*back pain (in shoulders),
*chest pain (low and in the middle -more where my ribs meet)
*and slight diziness.
*bloated stomach

i had my gallbladder checked via ultrasound about a year ago and it was clear.
I have had heaps of test and they come up negative.

I am on herbalife which means that I have 2 protein shakes a day and one main meal at night. So I don't eat a main meal until about 6.30pm. But the pain in my upper abdominal area and all the above discribed can be there at all times!
I thought that gallbladder pain was only after eating fatty food?

Any advice that you all have would help me heaps. Back to the doctor on monday to see if she will recheck my gallbladder!

Ask your doctor to order you a hida scan. An ultrasound can look for stones and you may not have stones but maybe your gallbladder is not working correctly.

My ultrasound came back fine also but my hida came back as 15% which is low so I am now scheduled for surgery may 25.

Hope this helps - good luck!
