Sharp Pain In Abdomen Below Rib Cage And Nausea. Are These Symptoms Of Gall Bladder Stones?
I have sharp pain in my abdominal right now. Yesterday i had unbearable pain in my stomach below my rib cage. I also had nausea. It lasted for about 20 hours.
I also had that same attack twice before this year. I havent been to the doctor yet, but my mother said it might be my gallbladder. Right now, if i apply pressure to, sneeze, or inhale, its a sharp pain in my lower abdominal. Do you have an idea what this could be?

Hi,
If it is on the right side then there is high likelihood of it being from the gall bladder. The best way to diagnose would be to get a USG of the abdomen done.
Having done that a General surgical consultation would be the best and safest option to rule out any underlying pathology.
