Hi, I am 56 yrs old, female and slightly overweight.. I have developed pain between my shoulder blades, indigestion and a slight tickle like dry cough. Could it be my gallbladder? It doesn t seem to be associated with food. I am just getting over a 4 week flu like illness. Deb
Hi.noted history of pain in shoulder area, indigestion and flu-like symptoms. To rule-out any gallbladder pathology, an abdominal ultrasound is suggested. Yes, shoulder pain and indigestion is possible if you have this problem. It may also be a systemic viral illness. It is best to consult with your doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Dignostics and management will be directed accordingly, depending on the clinical findings. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
