The short answer is yes.

Some gallbladder problems, like simple gallstones that are not blocking the bile ducts, often cause no symptoms at all. They're most often discovered during an X-ray or CT scan that's performed to diagnose a different condition, or even during abdominal surgery.

Most gallbladder symptoms start with pain in the upper abdominal area, either in the upper right or middle.

Common symptoms of gallbladder problems:

- Severe pain in the upper right or center of your abdomen

- Tenderness in the abdomen, particularly the right upper quadrant

- Abdominal pain lasting several hours

- Pain that may extend beneath the right shoulder blade or to the back

- Pain that worsens after eating a heavy meal, particularly fatty or greasy foods

- Pain that feels dull, sharp, or crampy

- Pain that increases when you breathe in deeply

- Heartburn, indigestion, and excessive gas

- Chest pain

- A feeling of fullness in the abdomen

- Nausea

- Vomiting

- Fever, ranging from low-grade to severe

- Shaking with chills

- Stools of an unusual color (often lighter, like clay)

- Dark urine (often described as tea-colored)
