2. What Are the Symptoms of Acute Cholecystitis?
Symptoms of acute cholecystitis often include severe pain that is usually felt in the upper-right part of the abdomen. Some people may feel shortness of breath or pain that radiates into the right shoulder. Other possible symptoms include fever, nausea, sweating, loss of appetite, vomiting and jaundice (yellowing of the whites of the eyes and the skin).
If you experience jaundice or fever in combination with severe abdominal pain, it’s important to seek medical treatment immediately. These are signs of an infection and could potentially lead to serious medical complications or even death if left untreated.
