gallbladderDeveloping gall stones is a serious, and painful illness. It affects the gallbladder, which is the organ used to store bile from the liver, used primarily for digestion. Here are gallbladder symptoms, to help you better determine if you are suffering from this ailment.

If you feel nauseous, or vomit after eating a meal with lots of fat, and experience heartburn as well, this is an obvious symptom. You may also have abdominal pains that proceed vomiting and heartburn. The pain may be overwhelming and located in your side or shoulder blade, and may feel worse after you inhale deeply. This also usually takes place after you eat a meal that is high in fat. You may also experience gas and bloating, or a feeling of “fullness” in your abdomen.

You might also have a fever, as well as the chills and shaking. This is also usually after a meal high in fat. These pains can last as long as eighteen hours after they begin, and as little as six. If these pains are chronic, and continuous, consider seeking professional help to determine if it is your gallbladder. If these pains often coincide with fatty meals, it is likely gall stones.
