What Does a Gallbladder Attack Feel Like?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. Pain
The most unpleasant of all symptoms of a gallbladder attack is pain. Patients with the condition often describe the pain as a sharp pain. It can come on suddenly and will often last for only a few minutes. Less fortunate people can find the pain lasts for several hours.
The longer the pain lasts, the more likely the pain is caused by an infection rather than gallstones. Such is the intensity of the pain that the patient struggles to remain still, and the pain doesn’t get worse when the patient does move. If you feel any intense pain in the abdomen area, then you should get medical assistance because it might be serious.
