Question 8

i'm meeting with a surgeon to discuss options for gallbladder. upper abdomen discomfort/pressure. eject fraction 4.9 percent. what ?s should i ask?

Accepted Answer

WHEN CAN I SCHEDULE: With an ejection fraction of this low level, and symptoms, your best bet is laparoscopic gall bladder removal. Once this is done, you should be able to resume enjoying fatty, greasy foods. Ask you surgeon to discuss the risks, the expected recovery, and the expected benefits. You could also ask how experienced he/she is, without insulting them.  Good luck.

Question 9

why does my upper abdomen pain increase with sitting?

Accepted Answer

Specifics please: In what position do you feel worse? What is the quality of pain--sharp, stabbing, pressure, bloating, gasiness? When you experience discomfort does the pain move or stay in one place?  Duration pain lasts?  Is pain deep or superficial? Have you seen blood with stool or change in bowels? Any chance of pregnancy (sexually active)? Any bladder/uti symptoms? Need this info to better help you.

Question 10

i am suffering of upper abdomen pain, everyday after i'm done eating. what is this really about?

Accepted Answer

: While not enough for even a differential diagnosis, the timing of the symptoms suggests an upper gi, stomach/duodenum, gallbladder or pancreatic origin. All clinical details matter and a focused physical exam will be needed. Keeping a log of your symptoms, quantity of quality of food and drinks ingested will help in further designing workup.
