gall bladder

Can anyone tell me if I'm having a gall bladder attack or if it's something else?I've had stomach pains and it travels to my chest and to my back.I had several test done but everything comes back fine.I just haven't had a hida scan yet.I wonder if I should request one but wonder if it's expensive test to be done and if there is a test thats cheaper for them to tell if it's my gall bladder.Thanks

Hi Yeah you really need to have a HIDA scan done.

I mean to say not much more than HIDA can identify GB problems.

If ultrasounds come back negative not much more can identify GB problems I don't think.  But you need medical care to be certain what is or isn't going on esp. with chest involvement.  Just my 2 cents.
