Gallbladder surgery and HIDA scan

[PEBS1]

I had a HIDA scan yesterday and became very nauseated during the second part and had to go home b/c I ended up with a case of diarrhea and felt really bad. I woke up this morning with chest pain that radiated all the way in to my back. Is this a sign that my gallbladder is not working properly? Can anyone help? I stay nauseated 5 out of 7 days. I am miserable and feel like there is no end in sight.


This discussion is related to CCK/HIDA Scan  - what to expect?.

Thanks for your help and informtion. I am glad to hear that hopefully we are getting to the bottom of my problems. Right now life is miserable. I hate even going out to eat with anyone b/c the pain is sometimes excruciating.

In short, yes, it sounds like possible gallbladder trouble. Don't know about the diarrhea and it's relation to all this, but it could have been because of the test. (When I took the test myself, I got very bad nausea. My EF came back at 19%.) The pain in the chest may be from heartburn, which is often associated with gallbladder dyskinesia.
