Gall Bladder going no where fast

Posted , 9 users are following.

Hi All, I have had severe sickness, sweating, pains in chest and right arm pit also right hand side lower back which also seems to pulse up into the rib cage.  I have been sick since Oct 2017, by the end of Dec I could eat very little and I lost a stack of weight.  I went onto a very basic diet and much of the symptoms went away.  I have had CT, Endoscopy & Colonoscopy & ultrasound.  The lady that did my ultrasound gave an entirely different diagnosis to what the radiographer has given which is why I am now seeking a HIDA test but it seems like Drs are either ignorant or simply do not wish for me to have the test.  I saw a Dr 2 days ago and was referred back to consultant of which I went to book online and the earliest is 14th Jan 2019!!!

My main symptom is laying down and sweating but this also occurs when eating but not all the time where as laying down does all the time.

When I saw the consultant she blatantly said all the things I described did not point to Gall Bladder yet reading this site it is obviously clearly correct that it is!

I am in despair with this because the NHS has not helped me one bit and it is only by talking with friends who have had this issue that I am not suffering in pain except from sweating and pain in my right hand side.

Can anyone say with their Gall Stones that they suffered with sweating?

    I have gallstones , only 3 episodes i felt sweat suddenly. During these times, my stomach was severely bloated and i use to get dizziness also. i would explain my dizziness is something where focusing is very difficult, example talking to one on one with a person, strain in the eyes especially right , not much energy. Dizziness is the one of the worst symptoms i feel with the gall bladder.

    This is what i feel, after having food whether it is bland or fatty, i get lot of burps,followed by distended stomach and some pulling feeling on the right side ,dizziness and headache starts.

    Initially  the gallbladder was not working confirmed by hida and then later after 5 years ended forming gallstones.

    still having the gallbladder, thinking to remove in US or in india. But never know removing gb will solve these problems.

      HI unbeknown to me i have been suffering with this for 4 years but it was only last year i became so ill I could not eat and that was when a friend said "its your GB".  I would have this out in a flash I can tell you because as I stand now I am a ticking time bomb, so I would say yes have it out and fast..

    You are obliged to choose any doctor and in particular if you consult one that is uneducated in your health symptoms try another until you find one that knows what he/she is doing....... Oh and one or rather two important points is put pen to paper........ That will be on your records.... The powers that be do not appreciate patients writing but so what.........  Second point are they referring to your past medical history? You may not believe they do not look at your previous medical history!!!!!!!!  They will deny that but I can assure you that may well be the case.....  although you might think it is an automatic function that should be done it might not be done by 'them' therefore full enquiries by you is a must.
