Hi all, after stopping smoking and putting on 4 stones (was already well over weight) , I began to have problems with constantly feeling sick, bloated, feeling of being constricted around my stomach, feeling of having a lump in my throat and now on top of things am beginning to get palpitations, I was sent for a tube down the throat and told I had a small hiatus hernia, am on tablets, ( I have taken tablets for indigestion for years, I am not getting indigestion ) the tablets were increased, but after a year and a half of running back and forward to the docs am still no better and feel it's getting worse, the only thing I don't have is any real pain, sometimes am uncomfortable in between my shoulders, has anyone had these symptoms with gallbladder?, the past 4 generations of women in my family have all had their gallbladder out, I probably sound like I am clutching at straws but am totally fed up of feeling unwell all the time, sorry for the long post, any input would be much appreciated.
