So I had my gall bladder removed last Tuesday, and I am still dealing with the same pain I was prior to the removal. Pressure in my upper stomach that intensifies during the day. Sometimes this pressure is in my chest, especially if I am walking. I thought it was heart related, but it will also go away in the middle of walking. It comes and it goes all day depending on body position. Same with the heart palpitations. Since it moves around, is it a possibility that its gas? I can lean on my side sitting down and feel okay, the minute I sit up straight, my chest tightens up and I get a heart skip. Same with waking up, I can feel nothing at all while lying in bed, the minute I sit up, I get chest and stomach pressure. I have had a upper scope, an abdominal CT scan, many x-rays. Just the gall bladder not functioning was all they could tell me.
I understand that gas and bloating can cause pressure on the diaphragm, which can cause these events. I have monitored how I eat and drink. I eat very slowly, I never drink while eating. I dont know why its happening.
I know its only been a week. I still have horrible bloating, and now I dont know where to turn. I really hoped the gall bladder removal would fix my problems. Not the case so far.
