What Causes Pain Under The Ribs And Nausea After Eating?
I am a 40 year old female. Have had right side abdominal pain for 4 days now a long with every time I eat food just seems to feel as if it s sitting in my throat making me feel very neasues. All of this comes and goes. The pain on the right side moves. Starts under the ribs and then goes lower. I went to see my doctor today and he requested to have blood work done and ordered an ultrasound to rule out gallstones. Is it possible that this is my appendix and not gallstones?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. It is not likely to be appendicitis and your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition. You need to change your dietary habits first. Need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
