Question: I have never had any health problems in my life, last year I had a severe pain in my stomach, that radiated to the back that lasted a few hours, and went away without any other symptoms. It happened a few times, so I went to my doctor, and he sent me for a abdominal sonogram. Last night It happenened again, which I haven't had it in a while. I eat very healthy, no fried foods, I eat fish and skinlessless chic hen, hardly any red meat, maybe once a month. I eat fresh vegetables, frui, no white bread, flour only whole grain. Last night I had fresh salmon, fresh asparagus & salad, after 3 hours I got that pain. I have an appointment with my doctor next Monday, I exercise 30 minutes a day, I keep my weight at 111 lbs, and I'm 5 feet tall. My cholesterol is very good, especially my HDL is 78, my LDL is 100, and triglyserides is 55. My abdominal sonogram showed multiple calcified gallstones, within the non distended gallbladder. The common bile duct is normal in caliber measuring 6 mm. the pancreas and kidneys are normal. the abdominal aorta is normal. The findings were Cholelithiasis & fatty infilliltration of the liver. I can't understand that, because I don't eat any fried foods. As I said I eat a very healthy diet, and I always did that way too. It is making me very upset.

Thankyou doctor for answering my question. When my previous doctor got my report of the sonogram, he told me not to worry also. Now I am seeing another doctor, because my previous one retired. When I got the pain in my stomach, it happened when I was watching television and lying on my back and that's when it had started. I didn't want to tell my husband, because he keeps on telling me that I eat to fast. I took some organic XXXXXXX juice and it subsided. Today, I am feeling great, as though nothing happened, but I am still a basket case over it. I was saying I hope it's not a heart attack, because women's heart attacks are different than men. I was able to breath & I didn't sweat. Doctor, although I am 72, I am a young one, I don't look or feel my age. In fact, I was taken for 50 years old, that's the age of my daughter. (Love the compliment). Anyway doctor, you made me feel much better mentally, and I thank you for answering my question. I will keep you informed when I see my doctor on Monday, 4/8/2013.

Doctor, I will write back when I get all my results from my doctor. In fact I have an identical twins sister, and today she went to her doctor, and she got good results, with her cholesterol, heart, etc. We both have the same DNAs so I should be like her. In fact we both have glaucoma, & we both had a squamous skin cancer removed from us with MOHS, everything was clear. In my younger days, we took a lot of sun. As far as the pain in my stomach, I ate a very healthy breakfast & lunch, and no discomfort in my stomach.

Doctor, I thank you so much for being so positive with me, that my mind is at least clear, without me always thinking of the worst.

Sincerely, XXXXXX
