Symptoms of Gallstones

Most gallstones do not cause disease. Symptoms can be seen if these stones clog the bile ducts or other digestive tract. The main symptom that is most experienced is abdominal pain that stops suddenly or is referred to together with biliary colic.





 This pain can occur in some members of the stomach. Among these are the members of the middle, upper, or right abdomen. This pain can also spread to the side of the body or shoulder blades. Signs of abdominal pain also vary, for example:

  •     Can be seen anytime
  •     Can occur for several minutes to hours.
  •     Will not shrink even if you go to the toilet, fart or vomit.
  •     The frequency of occurrence is rare but can be triggered by food together with high fat content.

If gallstones cause a blockage in one of the digestive tracts, these symptoms can appear:

  •     Stomach ache that is consistent or constantly returning.
  •     High fever.
  •     Jaundice
  •     Rapid heartbeat.
  •     Itching of the skin.
  •     Diarrhea.
  •     Confused.
  •     Loss of appetite.
  •     Nausea and vomiting.
  •     Pain in the shoulder.

It is important for you to be aware of biliary colic even though the symptoms feel trivial and inconsistent. Immediately consult your doctor if you experience severe stomach pain that occurs more than eight hours, jaundice or fever.
