Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I have been sick for about four or five days now. Can't eat without getting sick, I feel swollen, pinched and burnt in the back side of my stomach area and had some cramping feelings today. It is not going away. It all started with a 36 hour fast I went on and then I got sick after that. I ate good though the next day but the third day I got worse. The Dr. says hold on and do not run to the emergency room because he saw me five days ago and does not " think " I have gall bladder problems. I am holding off on my inclination to go to the emergency room today because the Dr. asked me not to but wants to see me tomorrow. In the mean time I am sitting here scared----can anyone tell me if there is a good or reliable way to tell whether or not I am having gall bladder problems or stomach problems? I cannot seem to tell for sure. Most of the pain and discomfort is high up like behind the area of my heart (but nothing to do with my heart). I am on zantac but nothing is changing. Any thoughts from anyone as to some little self test to tell if it is my gall bladder? I am not even sure how high up the gall bladder is located. Any thoughts will be appreciated as I sure feel bad and am alone. I have been watching the posts here most of the day. Thank you much in advance.
