What Could Enlarged Thymus, Chest Pain And Non-functional Gall Bladder Indicate?
Have been having back pain btwn shoulder blades for 2 months, last friday developed severe chest pressure mid sternal area more towards right. Dr. did a ct chest discovered enlarged thymus gland, and a HIDA scan that indicated a 26% EF, and a non functioning gallbladder. Chest pain so bad I am needing vicodin 750mg Q4, and yesterday and today have had rusty bloody stools. Doctor is discussing with other docs now.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation of Yours, seem to suffer from-Hepatobiliary Dysfunction -from Intrathorasic raised pressure from enlarged Thymus-causing chest pains.
This functional biliary paralysis- as seen from non-functioning gall bladder,is due to congestion of hepato-biliary system, which is caused by enlarged thymus gland,obstructing hepatic venous and lower body venous drainage.
Do's Suggested-
Consults with Chest Surgeon and planned thymectomy to decompress the raised intrathorasic pressure,to relieve this congestive hepatobiliary functional failure.
Other causes need to be assessed and treated along with enlarged thymus.
This plan would reduce your dilemma IBS with Anxiety neurosis.
Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
