I am 54 yr old white female. Had my gallbladder removed 4 yrs.ago. I now have suffered 5 attacks similar to gb attacks w/o vomitting and nausea. The tightness in my stomach during these attacks is right under my diaphram. Sometimes after eating, I feel like the food never moves and I become bloated (but not in my lower abdomen), just in my upper stomach.
I was wondering if I may have a blockage or stones. My dad had a similar problem after his gallbladder removed and had a stint inserted. Also, is this hereditary?
Thanks
