A little of everything!
Since around February I've had some niggly/worrying symptoms and my GP seems to think it could be gallstones/gallbladder disease?
I'm not looking anyone to diagnose me- I have an US scan next wednesday where hopefully if theres anything wrong it'll show up? But I've developed some other 'symptoms' that are making me stress? I'm seeing the doctor in the morning to see if he can reassure me, even though he'll probably say "Why didn't you wait til your scan?" but I wanted him to know I have these symptoms in case (for some reason) the scan doesn't show anything and it may be something else- if that makes sense?
Initially I had an occasional niggly ache/pain in my right hand side, underneath my ribcage- like I'd strained a muscle? This developed into a constant ache, which is now a constant mild pain? If I move suddenly sometimes I get a horrendous sharp pain lower down (around my ovary area?) that causes me to double over to catch my breath.
Six weeks ago I was referred to get a scan. For around 2wks now I've had NO appetite. I know I have to eat, and make myself do so, and enjoy it when I do, but I feel sickeningly full almost immediately, and if I press on my middle (between my breastbone/bellybutton) I feel nauseous and bloated? I've gained 6-7lbs in the last few weeks, and I get tired quickly. I was training for a 5k but find I'm unable to do the time/distance I'd worked up to? Also (sorry if this is tmi!) my 'motions' have turned a strange pale colour? These symptoms worry me, and I guess I was just wondering if they're 'normal' if I do have a gallbladder issue?
I'm thinking too much as usual....:wave_cry:
