A member asked:

Can a gallbladder problem cause heart burn? normal ultrasound of gall/liver but still get pain when pushed on along with random pinching.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heartburn: Heartburn symptoms are indigestion & internal upper abdomen discomfort that occurs after eating. While gallstones can cause heartburn like symptoms, you already note that your gallbladder is normal. Look for other conditions such as esophagitis or gastritis. See a gastroenterologist for evaluation & try antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) to see if that helps you. Heartburn is not created by pushing on the abdomen.
