Why does gallbladder cause headaches

That night, the indigestion set in, and it was belch-a-roma for 2 days. I noticed, a week before I started my period during some serious PMS , these 'attacks' would appear.

I would get really belchy, have chest pains, etc. I was a pepcid popper to the extreme!! Well, at the end of April 09, I was driving home from a city only 20 minutes away. When I got home, I got out of the car, and experianced major lower abdominal pain. Back to the ER! Those idiots gave me an ultrasound for my ovaries. I kept telling them, I know what ovary pain is, and this was not it.

In 06 I had a cyst on my ovaries removed that was the size of a human head. Of course the ultrasound showed no cysts and back home they sent me. The day after, I began to get extreme gas.

My abdomen was distended, and it felt like I was getting the stomach flu. I went to use the restroom, and it felt like maybe I had some hemmorhoids because it hurt to wipe. I know I know. I kept trying to use the restroom, but just came out feeling constipated. I noticed in the toilet that day that the one time I could use the restroom, it was mucousy. I also noticed there was very small amounts of blood, but began to think it was from the hemmorhoids.

The next day, uncontrollable diarrhea. None of the food was digested in my stool. I notice that my stool varies in color. Most of the time it looks dark, but on the toilet paper it's yellow Disgusting, I know. I started my period that same day, and it was SO heavy. The last time I had had a period that heavy was the first period I had had after I had my daughter.

And I'm pretty sure the recent period was heavier. Flash forward 3 weeks later, and I've been having so many symptoms I think I'm going to kill over!

The stomach flu feeling has not went away. It is so bad that it wakes me up from my sleep, gives me the shakes and gives me hot flashes. The neck pain radiates into the middle of my shoulder blades. The severity just depends on what is going on. I haven't been able to eat for a week. I tried to eat a piece of bread last night, and had the neck pain worsen. It's a horrible horrible feeling. When gallstones get stuck while traveling through the duct tube to the stomach, they block the outflow of bile, which causes the gallbladder to spasm.

This usually leads to sharp pain, like being cut by a knife, under the rib cage in the upper right side or center of the abdomen. The pain can be so severe that it takes your breath away. You might mistake it for a heart attack, says Efron. Other common symptoms of a gallbladder attack include:.

The attacks usually last several hours. The pain typically subsides once the gallstone has passed. Several serious conditions, like heart attacks, ulcer perforations and appendicitis, have similar symptoms to gallstones and need to be ruled out. Please help i don't want to die not diagnosed.

Pylori, parasites, candida, and anything that can be seen on ultrasounds and other imaging. I googled it and if I found the right thing it looks like gluten intolerance and other food allergies?

You can email michael drjockers. I have all this but was only jaundiced at birth. Been sick for almost 4 years. I cannot do most diets,supplements or medicines.

My swallow is almost non existent. Im scared and exhausted and dont know how to get even a little better. Any thoughts would be very appreciated. Hi Dr I have had an ultrasound confirming gallstones, did the epsom salt, lemon juice and olive oil flush 2 nights ago, felt much better yesterday.

Today however I felt bloated right under the diaphragm, central back ache and fatigued. Ive had loose stools this evening again, followed by insomnia, back ache and a blown up stomach. Is this normal? Hey Alyssia, you may need to perform this more than once. With the combination of ingredients it is not uncommon to feel a little unsettled for a short amount of time. Something else that could be very helpful is performing a coffee enema to encourage the expulsion of stones.

Can problems with your gallbladder cause you to react to foods in a way that mimics an allergic reaction? I get a fever and my face gets really blotchy red. I got 4 gallstones and the doc wants me to remove my gallbladder is there anything else I can try to soften them up and expel them naturally??

I have had planter faciatis for 2 years now, had the surgery and still in pain with both of my feet. I had my gallbladder removed in I have pain under my right shoulder. I also have some of the other symptons. How can I improve my situation. My ultrasound showed mutliple stones or polyps but they were under 3 millimeters. I also have fat infiltration in the liver.

There is also a dull pain just under my right rib. No jaundice, but having runny nose and chills very frequently. Nauseated after meals. My LDL cholesterol is also very high. All this happened in the last 18 months while my weight was going down. It was strange to know all this is happening, even though I am not fat at all and always kept a healthy diet. I am so sorry to hear about this Tom!

So what u advice me Dr.? I am 10 weeks pregnant and have been to the hospital 3 times due to pain near my gallbladder. I was told that my gallbladder is completely full of stones and they want to take my gallbladder out when I get into the second trimester.

My question is is it safe for me to wait until i give birth to have it removed if its completely filled with stones now or is it better to have it taken out as soon as possible.

I had my gallbladder removed last Nov. Just recently I had a colonoscophy and a endoscopy both came out great. I take probotics and other supplements. They put me on this powder med to take daily suppose to help with all the diarrhea. But any help would be much appreciated. Hey Julie, this could be a number of things. Food sensitivities, a microbiome issue, etc.

Hope this might help you too. I have had many of the symptoms and it hurts and feels like my heart is beating really hard right where my gallbladder is, my chest feeld fine, however, I am having severe heart burn and seems like all day gas from both ends! What do u think doc? Can u please help me and tell me what u think this is? Sorry to hear that!! It sounds like it may be an issue with your gallbladder, I would be sure to get that checked!

Could the gallbladder be the reason that I have numbness and tingling in the extremeties, mostly in the right hand and fingers? I do have many gallbladder issues nausea, bloating, constipation, dry skin and hair, etc. I have been experiencing a majority of these symptoms for many years and finally, through much testing and elimination of other diseases, discovered a small polyp near the duct of my gallbladder.

My doctor believes this is the issue and has offered surgery as the only solution. Are there any alternatives that will reduce or reverse the polyp? Hey Kim, not much is known about the cause of gallbladder polyps. Following the strategies here regularly may help but ultimately you may need to get the polyp removed.

For the last couple of years I have had gallbladder pain once or twice but just this last couple of week its been 3 to 4 times a week. Do you think I need to get it removed?

Apple cider vinegar does not help much anymore. Thanks Kathryn Highley. The only symptom I have is sores and itching over my body,a scan showed lots of stones impacted in the bladder none loose! I have been offered surgery is this necessary have never had pain? Hi Ive been having pain under my right ribcage for a year. The pain seems to radiate up my chest on the right side, and around my back on the right shoulder.

My doctor ordered a chest xray, and an ultrasound scan. The chest xray came back fine, the ultrasound showed I had thick walls on my gallbladder. I think they referred to it as Endometriosis of the gallbladder. There was no stones, and no blockages. They seemed surprised that I was still experiencing aching in that area. They also mentioned I could have damaged an internal muscle or nerve.

Is it normal to experience aching with thick walls? My aching comes for 2 days without stopping, then will go away for a month. Hey Cooper, I am not sure if this is normal. I am 37 years old. Been having problems with food intolerances all my life mostly stomach soreness, acid reflux, gallbladder pain and occasional mild diarrhea or vomiting, which stopped in 1 or 2 days , but in the last 3 years it all got intense.

Now I am experiencing all the symptoms listed above, except the yellowing of the skin. No vomiting but intense nausea with dizziness right sholderblade and neck pain, headache, plus IBS like symptoms with diarrhea. Did all the tests, scans, endoscopy, colonoscopy. Except, that when I insisted on a MRI, it showed that my gallbladder is malformed whatever that means.

Both my parents had gallbladder issues sluggish. Doctors tell me to not to take it out, as it has no stones. Now I am on my wits end, lost many kilos I am 44 kilos , trying a gluten free, lactose free and fructose free diet right now.

I am even afraid to eat, because I react even to drinking water with cramping and bloating. Could it be that my stomach inflammation is due to my gallbladder? Thank you for your prompt reply. I am grateful that I stumbled onto your web page.

I have found that lemon grass tea is helpful in calming mostly things a bit. I would love to talk to a functional nutritionist. God bless.
