How Will You Know The Gallbladder Pain Symptoms

By:


The gallbladder is a small organ that can be found in the concavity of the liver. The gallbladders role is to store bile from the liver during the digestion process and secretes liquids in order to break down fat and cholesterol. Like many other organs, the gallbladder is prone to become dysfunctional by a gallbladder disease. There are two category of gallbladder disease; acute cholecystitis and chledocholithiasis. Acute Cholecystitis is caused by inflammation of the gallbladder which occurs because there is a blockage to the duct by gallstones and chledocholithiasis is due to the presence of gallstones in the common bile duct.

Even though a lot of people dont feel any warning signs at first, the most common warning sign of gallbladder pain is Bilary colic. Bilary colic is also is linked to other symptoms such as pain in the middle or right area of the upper abdomen beneath the rib cage. The pain is described as sharp and extremely painful. This irritation of abdominal area can also cause the abdomen to feel stiff.

Bilary colic can also cause discomfort to be felt in the upper back section and sometimes just below the breast bone or the left side of the body. The pain also usually gets worse when the person inhales. The pain can last over a long period of time even when pain killers are used or it can happen at specific time of day. It is also likely that the pain can continue even decades after they have discontinued. Persons suffering from acute cholecystitis also experience fever and chills. In some cases, the discomfort can be felt along with nausea, excessive passing of wind. Nausea can cause lots of vomiting and can create a very discomforting side effect. Gallbladder pain can be linked to bloating in the abdomen which happens when the gas built up from foods that are eaten are stuck in the stomach and are unable to escape. This causes the belly to feel full with the feeling of wanting to pass your wind or belch excessively.

Because chledocholithiasis is caused when gallstones become lodged in the common bile duct it also produces similar symptoms to Acute Cholecystitis. Such as excessive pain in the abdomen area, nausea, indigestion, chills and fever. Indigestion produces a sensation that you have eaten too much, this can happen with gallbladder pain, even when the individual has not consumed a lot of food. The indigestion can also further lead persons to feel a very discomforting burning sensation in the lower end of the chest section. If any of these symptoms continue over an extended time period it is suggested that you seek the aid of a medical professional.
