Could a gallbladder infection cause chest pressure?

It can: The nerve sensations coming from the organs around the diaphragm are less precise than the nerves that send signals from the skin. Typically a patient can tell if the problem is above the belly button. A heart attack and a gallbladder attack can be challenging to differentiate. Additional tests, the exam, and the history all help to get accurate diagnosis. Be well.

Yes: The gallbladder is located in the right upper quadrant and infection there can refer pain to the diaphragm and subsequent chest pressure.
