I am going crazy for the last four weeks, I thought I was pregnant, ectopic, ovarian cyst now my gp reckons its gallstones.
I am aware of something on the top right of my abdomen just under my ribcage but I have pain that goes down my side into my pelvis and sometimes moves across my stomach. I have loose stools or go 2- 3 times a day.
This has been for the last four weeks with many pregnancy symptoms like queasiness, dizzy, metallic taste etc. Pregnancy has def been ruled out with hometests and hcg test at hospital yesterday. Other tests also exclude anything to do with my appendix.
When I have looked up gallstones it talks about people who eat a high fat diet or are obese. I am neither of these. My gp has given me an antibotic to take but I am a little reluctant to take it three times a day when she is not even sure I have that. I just need this scan that takes up to 6 weeks to confirm it.
I would love to hear from anyone who had gallstones and was generally healthy and not obese to hear your symptoms and your treatment.
I will take the antibotic just in case but I really wish the could be 100% about what they are treating.
I can feel whatever it is all the time especially if I lean forward or lie on my side.
Many thanks
