Could I have a Gallbladder problem? If not, then what's wrong?

Question

I'll be sleeping and I'll just suddenly wake up with the feeling that I'm about to vomit. When I do vomit, it's green and sorta foamyish. I've had abdominal pain a lot lately, I feel weak all day, I get bad headaches, I feel nauseous a lot, I have diarrhea, and problems sleeping.

Answer 1

I don't think that has anything to do with your gall bladder. The gall bladder helps your body break down fat. I don't see how that will give you the issues you are talking about. I think you should go see a doctor.

Answer 2

yours doesn't sound like a gallbladder problem because i had that 21 yrs ago. i didn't know what was wrong but it always came after i ate something fried or spicy and i had this for about 2 yrs before i broke down and went to have it checked which led to removing the gallbladder. the only symptom i had for those two yrs was the pain that would start on my UPPER left side and would radiate around to the back.i never had any of what you described. you could have acid reflux which would be the waking up at nite as if you're going to throw up because acid reflux is when the acid in the stomach comes up to your throat.which also wears out the lining of the throat over time when it does that. go check it out with the doc....but it isn't the gallbladder.

Answer 3

I had a gall bladder problem, and had to have it removed. My symptoms were slightly different. Vomiting is common, as is the intense abdominal pain. My pain felt like I was being stabbed by a sharp knife. If it is your gall bladder, the problem will be in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen. Gall bladder problems are generally exacerbated by eating high fat food. The gall bladder secretes gall to help digest it. If it is clogged by a stone, you will become very sick and have intense pain. If you have a diseased gall bladder, the symptoms are the same. The latter was my problem. The fact that your vomit is unusual, you are having headaches and you feel very weak, does not correspond to any of my symptoms. In my opinion you should go to the ER immediately. Many other things can cause abdominal pain and vomiting, such as appendicitis, renal failure, digestive tract blockage, or even a problem with your liver. All of this information is only from my personal medical experience, and that of my immediate family. Hope you feel better soon.

Fertile, forty female.thats what you real the surgical books regarding gall bladder problems.

It could be a gall bladder problem.It can present in so many ways.From simple gastritis picture to severe pain in the right upper area of your abdomen right under the rib cage.

Sometimes, it can get real bad with an attack of acute pancreatitis. If you have a GP(general practitioner), see him/her and probably get an ultra sound scan of the abdomen. The best way to look for gall stones and also the least harmful.

Green vomiting usally suggests a gall bladder problem. Would be worthwhile seeing your GP.
