Prenatal care?: Are you receiving prenatal care from a OB MD?

Gall bladder?: Gall bladder disease most likely by your symptoms.  See your pcp and get liver tests and a ggt.  An abdominal ultrasound may be needed.

Question 5

i have gallbladder disease, is it possible to have bike duct blockage from a stone with only mild pain on upper right side?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Do you have known gallstones? Generally bile duct blockage or obstruction from gallstones is painful and associated with nausea, vomiting ; yellow jaundice. Partial gallstone blockage may not have all those symptoms. Usually an ultrasound ; blood tests are fairly helpful in diagnosis. Sometimes MRI is done (mrcp).

Question 6

i would put a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in my orange juice 3x this past week. day 3 now on/off i feel a dull pain on upper right side by rib cage. could this have damaged my gallbladder? i dont feel anything after a meal, maybe after coffee?

Accepted Answer

Right sided pain : It is unlikely that the vinegar has caused the symptoms you describe. However with pain in this area there are possible other causes like gallbladder disease, stomach ulcer, which would need evaluation by your doctor through imaging and a thorough history and physical exam.

Question 7

intense abdominal pain that was abrupt while eating.  intensifying as time went on and thru the night.  woke up with pain on upper right side.  no additional pain when touching.  was able to pass bowel movement which looked normal and no diareah.  ?

Accepted Answer

ER checks gall blad.: Many things are in the upper abdomen:  stomach, pancreas, liver, small intestine, gall bladder, large intestine, abdominal muscles, etc...  An exam by a primary care doctor can help figure things out. Pain in the right upper abdomen, plus symptoms that occur after eating, can be due to gallstones or other gall bladder disease. The stomach itself and the spleen are in the left upper abdomen.

Question 8

very sharp, pinpointed pain on the upper right side of my head, followed by the same on my left side, but never both at the same time.

Accepted Answer

Neuralgia: Sharp, shooting, fleeting pains like yours are usually due to neuralgia in scalp nerves. The cause of this irritability is often unclear but can occur in diabetics or in nerves injured by shingles(usually on 1 side).  Your case sounds more like a nuisance type rather than anything serious and requires no treatment and usually goes away.  If in doubt, see a neurologist for diagnosis and advice.

Question 9

pain on my upper right side on my chest when i drink soft drinks  or eat it start sometimes on my side and it started at the back moved to the front?

Accepted Answer

GERD: Chest pain in a 32 year old related to food or drink intake is most probably gerd and non cardiac. It usually responds to antacids. However, it would be prudent to see your doctor and have an ekg done with a thorough evaluation.

Question 10

why does my husband have stabbing pain on the upper right side of his penis?

Accepted Answer

Pain: There could be a variety of reasons ranging from a blood clot to radiating pain from a pinched nerve to genital infections. He really should have this one looked at from his pcp.
