Can galstones couse breathing problems like the need to take deep breath all the time but can't some times?

No: Pain is caused by gallstones, especially after eating. Increased pain can make it feel like it hurts to take a deep breath, but that is rare.

No: Gall stones associated with gall bladder inflammation can cause severe abdominal pain that can become worse on deep inspiration. It can be felt in the abdomen, flank or even in the right shoulder. Simple gall stones are usually asymptomatic.
