I am a 39 year old male. (5'10", 175 pounds) who has experienced dull low level pain in mid/upper right quadrant of abdomin. Occasionally I have stomach problems such as bloating or indegestion, and I sometimes feel weak after these occurances.
First I'll describe my symptoms and history, and then I'll list my question.
History: Pain in the abdomin originated 3 months ago and was quickly followed by a night of swelling in the abdomin, followed by dizzy spells the next morning. Symptoms that followed included weakness, and occasional light headedness. It took me a week to feel strong again. Now I get occasional symptoms such as bloating, or minor indegestion after a meal. I've gotten occustomed to the warning signs and I now know how to avoid these spells by controling my eating habbits.
My blood tests came back normal. I also have normal blood pressure and cholestoral. My upper GI showed reflux, and my ultrasound came out OK (no gall stones). I do not feel the typical symptomes of reflux. I do not experience problems in my esophogas, but the upper GI did show reflux. I will also occasionally experience tingling and numbness in the neck and left arm. But that is not a constant symptom. EKG showed no problems with my heart beat.
Yesterday I had a Hida-Scan to check my gall bladder, and I had a reaction to one of the injections. The innitial injection was a radiological pharmicutical, that showed that the gallbladder was functioning normally. That part went OK. However when they injected me with the CCK, I felt nausiated and passed out. They told me that they only injected about 25% of the CCK, and had never seen this kind of reaction before. Unfortunately they were unable to acertain the ejection fraction because they couldn't administer the full dosage of CCK. I was concerned that I passed out from the CCK. The radiologist wasn't as concerned, but the other doctor was a little puzzled.
Hopefully I'm describing all these procedures correctly.
Questions: What would cause me to pass out from the CCK? Could this be a clue that something may be wrong with my gall bladder?
Could this be a sign of problems with any other organs such as the liver? What should my Gastroenterologist be looking at next? My next scheduled test is an endoscopy.
Thank you for your help. I'd be interested in any advice that a medical professional can offer.
