Right Upper Pain, Feels Hungry, Gallbladder Working About 18%, Surgery Unable Due To Blood Thinners

I have been having right upper pain off and on for some time. I feel hungry but can only eat a small amount. I have a feeling of feeling full fast. MY pain comes and goes. Worst at night or after eating a big meal. MY pain is getting worse, lasting only about 5 minutes off and on. I know my gallbladder is only working about 18%, but unable to have surgery due to blood thinners I can not stop. What to do and what kind of dr. to see

Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

I will advise you to take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole along with a prokinetic agent like domperidone. Also take some antispasmodic like drotaverine and take less fatty diet and don't lie down soon after meals at least for 2 hours. You may visit a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
