Routine Care & WellnessSymptoms of gallbladder diseaseSymptoms of a gallbladder “attack” usually starts with steady, gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen that progresses until the pain is quite severe and accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The pain may sometimes be referred to (felt in) the right shoulder or between the shoulder blades, and may last for several hours. The immediate symptoms of an irritated gallbladder often resembles a heart attack or angina – many times this is first diagnosed in the emergency department.The frequency of attacks varies among individuals, sometimes once a month, sometimes once a year. Most can expect that once they’ve experienced one attack, they are more likely than not to have another at some point.
