How do you know if you are having gallbladder trouble?

Answer 1

Gallstones are stones that accumulate in the gallbladder or bile ducts. Appendicitis refers to the very painful inflammation of the appendix. Both pains are on the right side, but gallbladder pain is up under the ribs, while appendix pain is on the lower right side.

Answer 2

The most common symptom of gallstones is intense pain in the centre of your abdomen, or the upper right of your abdomen. The intense pain can last between 5 minutes and 1 hour. If you have dull pain in this area over a longer period of time, it may be gallstones.

Answer 3

A good indication would be:-

* Pain caused by gallstones around the middle to right hand side of your abdomen. * Jaundice

Answer 4

Normally, appendicitis causes pain in the lower left part of the stomach and kidney stones cause pain in one side of the lower back. Only an ex-ray can tell for sure.
