I'm waiting for GP appointment (tomorrow). About 3 weeks ago I had a terrible pain in my upper right side which got worse and worse until in the end my husband called an ambulance! I was taken to hospital where I'm sure they thought I was having a heart attack to start with! Anyway, eventually they decided that it was biliary colic (?) and maybe passing a gallstone and I lay on a trolley in A&E all night with no relief (some pain relief but didn't work). Agony. By the morning it had subsided and they let me home. After that I had no problems and realise I should have gone to the GP but just kept putting it off as I'd seemed to have recovered. However, on Saturday night, we had a curry/beer and in the middle of the night, I had a similar attack - but not as bad - but it kept me up all night and eventually subsided. However, since then, I have had constipation (still haven't "been" since Sunday).... as well as intermittant aching pain in the same area - sometimes going around my ribs into the back. I can't lie on my right side at night as there is discomfort (not exactly pain). Can't wear tight fitting clothes around my tummy as it's really uncomfortable. I don't really want to eat anything. This morning, the pain has subsided but keeps coming and going very lightly. However, my problem this morning is that I woke up feeling really sick - since about 6am. Still feeling sick now despite trying to force down a bit of cereal.
Can all these problems - pain, nausea, constipation - all be the same thing?? Is it really my gallbladder do you think? Really fed up with feeling like this - obviously my GP will help but it's another whole day and a half.....
Thank you.
