Abdominal Pain With Chest Discomfort While Swallowing. Found Gall Stone In Gall Bladder. What To Do?
I am 30 years of age, female. Been experiencing stomach pain and some difficulty in my chest especially when I drink water or swallow food. It seems like it s not going down and stuck in my esophagus or chest area. Also last week the doctor found out i have 5mm gall stone with a thickened lining of my gall bladder but said it s nothing and it shouldn t be removed. I m confused. I hope you can help me.

thank you.
gall stone disease does not cause difficulty in swallowing but abd. pain.
asymptomatic gall bladder stone need not any operation.
but your swallowing difficulty need to be evaluated.
a barium swallowing x-ray of esophagus & endoscopy of upper GIT is helpful.
