Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
I am afraid your
rib pain and blood pressure problems might really not be related to a removed
gall bladder.
Rib pain is a common health condition and its evaluation would require many parameters to be taken into consideration. It is important to know where you experience the pain exactly. In case the pain is around the junction of the ribs with the chest bone (sternum), this would likely be linked to an inflammatory condition called Trietz syndrome, easily treated with
steroids. A chest X ray at some point might be very useful.
Tarchycardi and blood pressure abnormalities need a critical review. A cardiac ultrasound would be necessary in this context, including a chest X ray and an Electrocardiogramme to know the electrical activity in the heart. Heart malformations and
ischemic heart disease, a condition arising from poor blood supply to heart could present as such. An inflammation of the heart surroundings, called
pericarditis could also present as such.
It is very difficult attributing these symptoms to removal of your gall bladder. In a context of
high blood pressure and breathing problems, excluding
heart failure is useful. The opinion of a cardiologist, chest x ray, cardiac ultrasound, EKG and a complete clinical review are mandatory initial first steps in the proper evaluation. Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
