Do Gallstones Cause Pain In The Chest, Shoulder Blade And Head?

I have gallstones. Waiting for doctor to schedule gall bladder removal. I also had gastric sleeve surgery 2 1/ years ago. Anyway, I am having extreme pain across my chest which I know is the gallstones. I am also getting the same pain in my head and my right shoulder blade area. Are these all symptoms of gallstones?

Hello,

In my opinion, the symptoms seem to be related to gallstones.

I recommend using Buscopan to relieve the pain temporarily.

If the symptoms continue I recommend going to the emergency room for further evaluation and specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
