Fatigue with gallbladder

[deluchi]

I have just had an ultrasound and hida scan for my gallbladder along with labs this morning.  Would a malfuncioning gallbladder cause fatigue. I have not only had typical symptoms for gallbladder problems but have been severly fatigues.

Is it possible to have a diseased gallblader causing extreme fatique without gallstones

diseaded gallbladder kept for few years will eventually form gallstones. This is the happened in my case, got diagnosed with gall bladder not working in year 2011 and in 2017 i  got gallstones.

Hi there, I totally understand.  When I will still waiting for a diagnosis I just fell into a terrible rut this past summer - was I tired? was I lazy? was I depressed?  and then it just became circular .... and the pain was so bad at times too ... once you have your surgery, you are going to feel good - and I didn't know what feeling good was like anymore. after feeling so horrible it was "ya hoo"!  I begged my surgeon's secretary to get be an earlier date and she did so.  Good luck!

Thanx for commenting.  I am soooo hoping that once I get my gallbladder taken care of that this fatigue will subside.  Its terrible.  I have not done much of anything the last month or so  seems I always need a nap and yes, I'm in bed usually by 7.

Yes, gallbladder disease causes extreme fatigue.  I started having pain in May which increased over the summer.  Along with the fatigue.  I would go straight home from work and crawl into bed at 6 or 7 p.m. and sleep for 14 hours easily.  Four about four months I could not work 5 days straight at the office; I always had one or two days per week sick leave, either from pain or exhaustion (very happy I have a considerate boss!) I had my gb removed a month ago; slept abut 17/18 hours a day for the week after surgery, but am feeling great now.

Can it cause anxiety? I am always exhausted, and was told I had gallstones. My GI dr said he don't  normally remove them.
