Gall Bladder
Symptom List
The following is a basic list of gall bladder disease symptoms:
Gall Bladder Symptom 1 - Jaundice
As you may already know, the gall bladder is a holding vessel for bile flowing
from the liver to the intestines. The symptoms of disease may vary, but the
first and most obvious symptom is jaundice. If the skin becomes jaundiced,
then we know that there is most likely an issue with the Gall Bladder or
liver. Jaundice can either turn the skin yellow or orange depending on the
type. With this, the whites of the eyes often take on a yellow color as well.
Jaundice is the result of the liver not properly breaking down old blood
and transforming it into bile. This can be the result of either the liver
not functioning properly, or jaundice can indicate a blockage of the gall
bladder.
Gall Bladder Symptom 2 - Gall Bladder Pain Symptoms
Gall Bladder Pain Symptom List - Types of Pain
Sporadic pains in the middle of the upper abdomen, or just below the ribs on
the right side.
The pain may spread to the right shoulder or between the shoulder blades.
The pain can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting and sometimes excessive
wind.
The attack can last from a few minutes to two to three hours before getting
better.
The frequency and severity of attacks is very variable.
Attacks can be triggered by eating fatty foods such as chocolate, cheese or
pastry.
It can be difficult to distinguish the pain from other diseases, such as: gastric
ulcer, back problems, heart pains, pneumonia and kidney stones.

Gall Bladder Symptom 4 - Gall Bladder Atack Symptoms
An acute gall bladder attack symptom can occur at any time, such
as the night or after a fatty meal. A gallstone attack indicates
that medical attention
is required. A gallstone attack usually is marked by a steady, severe pain
in the upper abdomen. Attacks may last only 20 or 30 minutes but more often
they last for one to several hours. A gallstone attack may also cause pain
in the back between the shoulder blades or in the right shoulder and may
cause nausea or vomiting. Attacks may be separated by weeks, months,
or even years.
Once a true attack occurs, subsequent attacks are much more likely.
