And what causes it? is it deadly?
I don't have yellow skin and I don't feel like dying but my left side or ur right side hurts a little bit if I move around strenuously. (Usually nothing happens if i do) And I feel a bit weaker than usual. But nothing horrifying. I've had quite a bit of gas though.
if you have gall stones you will know it if you eat something that is spicy or peanutbutter use to get mine a hurting.you have really bad pain on your right side up under the ribcage all the way through to your back and it doesnt ease off til you throw up.at leat mine didnt.mine is out now.It makes you think you are dying,but actually if one of the stones come out and travels down and gets lodged in a duct it can be very serious.It doesnt make your skin yellow,and usally you have attacks after you eat something.
I am sure that you are not having a gallbladder attack because you are able to sit at your computer and type. The pain that is encountered during an attack is extreme and you cannot function at all. It usually is such a severe pain that it sends people to the emergency because they think that they are dying. I have had them so bad that I actually passed out from the pain. It is on the right side just below the breast and radiates through to the back and up to the shoulder.
If you want to be sure though, you should ask you doctor about having an ultra sound.
