  3. What does pain inside the gallbladder feel like? Your upper right abdomen is where the discomfort is typically felt, but it can also travel to your upper back or shoulder blade. Additionally, some people report feeling pain in the middle of their abdomen, directly beneath their breastbone. This discomfort may linger for a few minutes or several hours. Inflamed and bloated gallbladder symptoms include pain in your abdomen, particularly in the region directly above your stomach. A pain in your back or right shoulder blade is another possibility. It can typically be diagnosed with an ultrasound and other imaging testing.

  4. Causes of gallbladder pain Cholecystitis: Gallbladder inflammation Choledocholithiasis: Common bile duct stones Common bile duct stones are usually gallbladder stones that were formed in the gallbladder before passing into the bile duct. It is a condition that could lead to the damage of the gallbladder's function if not treated well. Cholecystitis can either be acute or chronic. Gallstones Gallbladder Cancer When the symptoms start to show, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and belly bloating are experienced. Eating unhealthy food can increase the risk of getting gallbladder cancer. Gallstones are hardened fluid deposits that form inside of the gallbladder. A high level of cholesterol could cause the formation of these small gallstones that could go undetected for years. Other types of gallstones are formed due to the presence of calcium bilirubinate.

  5. Symptoms of gallbladder pain Abdominal pain Pain located deep into the right side of the abdomen under the ribs could indicate gallbladder pain. Jaundice Excessive bile can build up and enter into the bloodstream therefore causing the appearance of a yellowish tone to your skin and in the white of the eyes. Urine could also turn to a darker tea-like color, while stool could acquire a lighter-color. Nausea and vomiting The irritation and the sense of discomfort in the digestive system is a common and widespread symptom that indicates gallbladder problems if accompanied with gallbladder pain. Chronic Diarrhea Chronic Diarrhea may be a sign that you suffer from chronic gallbladder disease. More than four bowel movements a day is a diarrhea indicator.
