Cholecystitis Support Group

The most common symptom of cholecystitis is pain in your upper right abdomen. This pain can sometimes move around to your back or right shoulder blade.

Other symptoms include:

* Nausea or vomiting.

* Tenderness in the right abdomen.

* Fever.

* Pain that increases during a deep breath.

* Pain that lasts more than 6 hours, easpecially after meals.

Older people may not have fever or pain. Their only symptom may be a tender area in the abdomen.

The only real sign I had cholecyctitis was daily vomiting for six months. I had no pain or tenderness which probably postponed my diagnosis for so long. I was exhausted physically however, probably due to not getting enough nutrients. I feel fortunate I didn't have to deal with the pain involved however, one episode would have been great over six months of vomiting. Just a thought Take careT.
