Symptoms of Gallstones

No symptoms - many people don't know they have gallstones. These "silent stones" are often found by accident from x-rays for other medical reasons. These stones may or may not require treatment.
  1. Abdominal pain
  2. Nausea
  3. Vomiting
  4. Indigestion
  5. Abdominal bloating
  6. Fatty food intolerance
  7. Biliary Colic
  8. Belching
  9. Gas
  10. Indigestion

Certain symptoms are particularly dangerous and require urgent medical attention:


  1. Fever
  2. Sweating
  3. Chills
  4. Jaundice
  5. Yellow eyes
  6. Yellow skin
  7. Persistent pain
  8. Clay-colored stools
  9. Gallstone attack symptoms - an acute gallstone attack can occur at any time, such as the night or after a fatty meal. A gallstone attack indicates that medical attention is required.

  1. Upper abdominal pain
  2. Back pain - between the shoulder blades
  3. Pain under the right shoulder
  4. Nausea
  5. Vomiting
    *Note that Gallstones symptoms usually refers to various symptoms known to a patient, but the phrase Gallstones signs may refer to those signs only noticable by a doctor.
