noted gallbladder stone on ultrasound result. if your symptom is recurring, persistent, progressing - it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, so you can discuss with him the plan of management for your case (conservative or clinical monitoring of your gallstone vs surgical intervention). definitive treatment is cholecystectomy (removal of your gallbladder along with the stone), which can be done laparoscopically (goldstandard) or thru open technique. it is not an emergent case, but there must be a sense of urgency in managing your case especially if you're already experiencing symptoms. low fat diet is also recommended as intake of fatty meal triggers/aggravates biliary colic.
hope this helps.
good day!!
