Could it be love or more likely gallstones?

[Newbeginning1]

Last night, I woke myself up with excruciating pain at the top of my tummy, just under my boobs and where your bra should normally sit.

I feel like I either need to be sick or have a poo but either I can't or if I do it doesn't help.

I tried paracetamol and ibuprofen but that didn't help. All that worked was getting a hot water bottle for my tummy and then one for my back too although the pain wasn't anywhere near as bad there.

I woke myself up every hour like clockwork in pain that just didn't go and it was like that for 4 hours.

Could it be gallstones or does anyone else have any other ideas??????

gallstones by the sounds of it, hot baths helped my dh was the only relief he could get, his attacks were in the night too

Definitely sounds like gallstones. Go and see GP, you will need gallbladder removed. I put up with it for months and used to have to go to A&E for morphine when it got really bad. It was a nightmare.

Thanks for the replies.

Ill try a hot bath next time and ill speak to my GP.
