Symptoms of gallbladder issues commonly include:

• Pain: The most frequent symptom is pain in the mid- to upper-right section of the abdomen, under the right rib cage. This pain can be mild or severe, sudden or intermittent, and may radiate to the back, right shoulder, or chest. It often occurs after eating, especially fatty meals, and may last from minutes to hours

• Nausea and Vomiting: These digestive symptoms often accompany gallbladder pain and may be persistent in chronic cases

• Fever and Chills: These indicate infection or inflammation (such as acute cholecystitis) and require prompt medical attention

• Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes can occur if bile flow is blocked, often due to gallstones or duct obstruction

• Changes in Stool and Urine Color: Light-colored stools and dark urine may signal bile duct blockage

• Digestive Problems: Chronic gallbladder disease can cause bloating, gas, acid reflux, diarrhea, and intolerance to fatty foods

• Additional Signs: Severe abdominal tenderness, pain increasing with deep breaths, loss of appetite, and an accelerated heart rate during pain episodes may also be present in gallbladder inflammation

If symptoms such as intense abdominal pain, jaundice, fever, or chills persist for several hours, immediate medical evaluation is recommended as these may indicate serious complications requiring treatment or surgery
