Suspected Gallbladder issues
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi. I'm 67 and have a range of annoying health issues - some have in the past been pretty bad so 'annoying' = quite content! And my digestive system has always been fine. Then some months back I started noticing that my poo had changed to the floaty, hard to flush variety. Didn't think much of it really until a few weeks ago when I started to feel decidedly unwell, sometimes to the extent of becoming unsteady on my feet, belly really bloated, pain mostly on right side and all of that worse after eating, especially in the evening, especially after eating oily foods. During a particularly bad day last week I phoned 111 (GP surgery virtually non-functional) and they made an appointment for me at the Urgent Treatment Centre at the local hospital. A very kindly and apparently thoughtful practioner said she suspected gallstones / some problem with my gallbladder. I'm due to have a QFIT test and an ultrasound of my stomach. In a way I would 'like' to have gallstones as a close relative has Pancreatic Cancer and supporting someone who is so very ill does perhaps make you a bit nervy about your own health. I'm here to learn as much as I can.
Does anyone else find that gallbladder problems make them feel generally 'blah', wobbly, below par almost 24/7?
