I have recently had a gallstone attack. I know this because I had one about 8 months ago and it presented in the same manner. This time however my urine turned dark for about two days afterwards. My girlfriend says the whites of my eyes are somewhat yellow, so I m guessing jaundice is a symptom of the attack. I currently have no health insurance but feel fine now other than slight nausea and lightheaded feeling every now and then. IT has been 3 days since the gallstone and my urine is back to normal (i have however been drinking a ton of fluids so I don t know if this is just masking the dark urine). My eyes still appear to be yellow but I have no abdomen pain throughout the day. I can get health insurance by the end of the month but that s still two weeks away. Does it sound like Im in the clear and can wait to seek help, or does it still sound like I need to go to the hospital despite having no insurance.
Hello You may be suffering from jaundice. Gall bladder calculus may cause jaundice. You may need clinical examination and investigations like routine hologram, complete liver function test, urine RE/ME, latest ultrasound of abdomen. You should go for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus. Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy). Gall bladder calculus is prone to infection and obstruction, so it is advised to get rid of calculus early. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
