A member asked:
Is gallstone pain typically only on the right side/back?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No.: About 1/3 of the time, people will feel the most intense pain in the upper middle abdomen or lower chest. In fact, it is not uncommon to mistake a gallbladder attack for a heart attack. When in doubt, go to an er!
