14 Signs Of A Gallbladder Attack

3. Intense Pain That Makes it Difficult to Sit Still

The Surgical Clinics

These attacks typically occur after a large steak supper or other fatty meal and can linger for many hours, making it difficult for you to sit still. However, most patients with gallstones are completely unaware of their condition. These “invisible” stones have no effect on your organs. Gallstones can be detected with diagnostic procedures such as an ultrasound, a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a blood test, or other imaging studies. Surgery, medicine, or even shockwaves may be used by your doctor to remove them.
