Left Side pain and discomfort

[SirNoots92]

I'm a 28 year old male and 7 months ago I woke up very suddenly in the middle of the night I went stiff breathing heavy and felt like I couldn't move It lasted for around 5 seconds then I went back to sleep ( This has not happened since) since then I have suffered with pain and discomfort in the middle and left side of my abdomen i have recently had an ultrasound done and found out I have gallstones and a fatty liver. I have never had a gallstone attack but I do suffer with pain and discomfort at the middle and left side of my abdomen would the gallstones be causing the discomfort? I have suffered with loose stools for many years and most time after eating I need to use the bathroom straight away but I have never been diagnosed with IBS (my sister and father both have IBS)The pain has never been serve I don't feel sick or ever get a fever I sleep well I haven't deteriorated over the time frame I do suffer with health anxiety and I have convinced myself I have kidney or stomach cancer nothing showed up on my ultrasound all my bloods came back normal but I have still convinced myself and I don't know what to do.

Hi, we don't offer a diagnosis in this community. I can tell you that I had a similar situation over a year and a half ago. It was determined that I also had gallstones and was referred to a general surgeon. On Oct. 7th, of 2019 I had my gallbladder removed. They were able to do it laparoscopically instead of by open surgery. After that I cut out the remaining fatty foods (primarily seafood, since I was already on a kidney-friendly meal plan) and I've been pain free and symptom free since then. Please check with your physician and have an appointment scheduled with a general surgeon and follow their advice.

Your Doctor would be able to tell by bloodwork if you have Chronic Kidney Disease. Mainly it will be your eGFR bloodwork.

SirNoots,Convincing yourself that you have a disease can only bring harm and anxiety when it is not necessary. Go to the doctor and get the tests you need.

I had my gallbladder removed and after that, things were much better. Go see your doc.
