I am 85 years old and have had nausea and lack of appetite for quite some time.  I found out two months ago I had gall stones with two gall bladder attacks following.  It is suggested to remove my gall bladder.  I have very little pain on right side.  My biggest problem is sick nausea and no appetite.  In view of my nausea, no appetite, and slightly painful gall bladder, what would you suggest?  Sincerely Howard
HelloThanks for writing to ChatDoctorPain in right side of abdomen, nausea and lack of appetite is related to gall bladder calculus. You have to definitely get rid of it. Any time, these calculi may be obstructed leading to infection and pain. It is an emergency condition and called as acute cholecystitis. Treatment is mainly surgical removal of gall bladder. Medical treatment for gall bladder calculus is also available, but it takes long time to dissolve and is reserved for patients who are unfit for surgery. Consult your surgeon for your problem. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
