I am hurting in the top of my abdomen and there are small sharp pains in the right quadrant of my abdomen and some on the left. I am burping a lot currently diagnosed with gerd taking 40 mg of protonix a day. My stomach is bloated also. I have gallstones which had not been causing me any issues but the Dr said I need to get it taken out soon. I wasn t in pain before and its not unbearable but is very uncomfym should I call a Dr to make sure I m not having a gallbladder attack?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Thanks for a good history and understanding you have. The pain in abdomen looks to be due to gall stones, unless proved otherwise. The Surgery for removal of the gall bladder may relive of many problems including bloating, pain and may be burping too. Better to call a Doctor and make sure why the symptoms-plan for a surgery too.
