Perspiration
Perspiring, or sweating, is when clear fluids pass through the skin. People may feel warm and clammy when sweating. Biliary colic can cause individuals to sweat more than they normally do. Sweating commonly stops when pain subsides.
There's typically no associated fever with perspiration when it accompanies biliary colic. If a person experiences upper-right abdominal pain with sweating, fever and chills, it may be an indication of a more serious condition called cholecystitis.
