Gallstones Symptoms
Gallstones Symptoms Can Hurt
Some people will not experience any gallstones symptoms while others may have mild discomfort up to a great deal of pain. These periods of discomfort or pain may last from 30 minutes up to many hours.
The gallstones symptoms may be experienced individually or you may experience more than one in a single episode or "gallstone attack" as they are sometimes referred to.
Some of these symptoms are:
* A mild stomach pain often just below the rib cage or in the pit of your stomach. This pain may come and go but often happens after a meal that is high in fat has been eaten.
* If you have gallstones that block a bile duct, you may experience nausea or vomiting..
* Your skin or eyes may be jaundiced (yellow tinted) if the bile duct blocks.
* A back pain usually between the shoulder blades is felt by some people.
* Some people may feel a pain under the right shoulder if they have gallstones.
* A really bad gallbladder "attack" might leave some feeling a chest pain similar to a heart attack.
* Some gallstone sufferers have clay colored stools.
* A fever or chills might be experienced in some cases.
If you experience the gallstones symptoms such as a fever, jaundice or persistent pain, you need to consult your medical professional as soon as possible. Serious damage or worse may result if you have gallstones that resulted in a blockage and subsequent "attack".
Extended blockage of bile ducts may result in damage to the gallbladder, liver or pancreas. Permanent health damage or even the loss of life is possible when blockages aren’t addressed in a timely manner. Pain and fevers are your body’s warning systems that something isn’t right. Any time you experience either of these and don’t know the cause, you should seek advice from your medical professional.
Stomach pains, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, back pain between the should blades or under the right shoulder, chest pains similar to a heart attack, clay colored stools or fevers are all gallstones symptoms you should pay attention to and act on immediately.
