For the last two years I’ve had abdominal issues.. gnawing pain under right rib cage, gassy, tight pain across abdomen, dizzy etc.

I’ve had blood tests, ultrasounds, a ct Colonoscopy, an endoscopy, an abdominal mri. They’ve found a hiatus hernia, and a gallbladder polyp that’s grown to 3.4mm.

Im due to have gallbladder surgery. But this last week I’ve been feeling absolutely awful. I feel nasueus and weak and just not myself.

I have health anxiety and am terrified they’ve missed something terrible. With all those tests they must have a clear picture of what’s going on right?

Realistically, if there was anything nasty lurking, something would have shown up in all those tests, even if it was only something elevated that warranted further investigation 💐

I had gallstones and the pain came on all of a sudden and was terrible. Felt right around my chest etc like everything your describing so I'd think it would be the gallbladder causing this. If it gets unbareable go to A&E because you may have a blocked bile duct or something.

Thank you for replying! its so rubbish feeling this pants and not really knowing the reason. All the doctors say polyps are unsymptomatic.
