Treatment For Polyps And Sludge In Gallbladder?

Hello I am a 47 year old woman. I was recently taken to the er by ambulance because I was having what they thought were symptoms of a heart attack. Pain in my chest pain in my right side so painful I couldn t take a breath without severe pain.I threw up twice I had pain in my back like someone is stabbing me. After many test they said I have polyps and sludge in my gallbladder. I need to follow up with a surgeon next week since this incident I really haven t been able to eat anything without pain I also noticed that my stool is almost white. I m trying to wait for my appt but this is getting hard to tolerate much longer. Do you think I should go back to the ER or just tough it out until I see the surgeon I don t know how much more I can take and is this something that will require surgery? Sorry to ramble I m just really scared I m a pretty healthy person and this is really scary please help

Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
You look like having obstruction of bile flow probably due to gallstones in the bile duct. A MRCP may be done to confirm it.
If confirmed, ERCP may be done to relieve obstruction followed by laparascopic removal of the gallbladder.
If you are having feve with chill, go to ER. If no fever, you can visit your surgeon as per the appointment given.
Regards.
