What causes severe pain in the right quadrant of the abdomen?
Patient: I am hurting in the top of my abdomen and there are small sharp pains in the right quadrant of my abdomen and some on the left. I am burping a lot currently diagnosed with gerd taking 40 mg of protonix a day. My stomach is bloated also. I have gallstones which had not been causing me any issues but the Dr said I need to get it taken out soon. I wasn t in pain before and its not unbearable but is very uncomfym should I call a Dr to make sure I m not having a gallbladder attack? Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query.Thanks for a good history and understanding you have. The pain in abdomen looks to be due to gall stones , unless proved otherwise. The Surgery for removal of the gall bladder may relive of many problems including bloating, pain and may be burping too.Better to call a Doctor and make sure why the symptoms- plan for a surgery too.
