what are the symptoms of a gal bladder attack?

Answer 1

Extreme nausea, vomiting if you attempt to eat, pain in the right side under the ribs or sometimes just pain in the mid-section. Fever.

I had an infected gallbladder that had to be removed in an emergency surgery.

Answer 2

The primary symptom is typically a steady gripping or gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen near the rib cage, which can be quite severe and can radiate to the upper back. Some patients with biliary colic experience the pain behind the breast bone.
Nausea or vomiting may occur.

Changes in position, over-the-counter pain relievers, and passage of gas do not relieve the symptoms.

Biliary colic typically disappears after one to several hours. If it persists beyond this point then acute cholecystitis or more serious conditions may be present.

The episodes typically occur at the same time of day but less frequently than once a week. Large or fatty meals can precipitate the pain, but it usually occurs several hours after eating and often wakes the patient during the night.

Recurrence is common, but attacks can be years apart.
