Is my nightly "anxiety" actually a gallbladder attack?

2 Replies

This started one day out of the blue. Couple weeks ago I woke up with what felt like bloating, chest as and abdominal pain, and nasea. This caused shortness of breathe and elevated heart rate which I took to mean an anxiety attack. It now happens almost every night, but always at the exact same time (2-3 am) no matter what time I go to sleep. Now I'm thinking it's my gallbladder acting up. Anybody have similar experiences or advice? Going to the doctor next Monday but still curious.

I get that similar time wake up, my is PTSD and anxiety, I'm sorry it dosent relate. But, no one replied, best of luck.

I had my Gallbladder removed several years ago and the pain is very severe, I have pain most day and this problem is in a different level , severe.

If this is what you think it may be important you see your GP now, generally Gallbladders are removed by micro surgery and although in pain you may be released in one or two days after removal.

Personally I do not know what your situation is however you sound a sufferer of Anxiety, regarding your health. So no-one can advise here. In my case I was rushed to hospital and was operated on straight away

If your Anxiety is bad you need to have your mind calmed. To leave the Gallbladder in is not advised. Talk to your GP or telephone UK NHS Information on Tel 111 explain your concerns
