Hi, I have multiple gallstones (size of ~3 mm). I am experiencing heaviness and pressure below sternum, at my upper back, around my chest (specially the left one) and below my left and right ribs since 4-5 months. I am on pantoprazole and bland diet since then but it's not helping. A month ago, I had a very intense pain in my entire abdomen (including left, right and center upper and lower abdomen) after having fatty food. This pain episode lasted for 4-5 hours and it was so severe that I was unable to breathe. I went to doctor's office and they prescribed for ultrasound. In ultrasound, again gallstones were detected. After this pain, I started experiencing nausea and vomiting for next 2-3 weeks. Just curious to know are all the symptoms which I mentioned earlier related to gallstones or something else and what should I do now.
