hi there i have recently had my gallbladder removed. my father passed the friday and i had it removed the monday after. didn t have much time to recover really with all the funeral prep etc. i woke up twice with this huge spasming in the sternum area followed by nausea and i became increasingly hot ... it went away after a few minutes but was quite painful and feeling of anxiousness was horrible. i did not experience again untill now (+- 4 weeks later) once yesterday in the afternoon and woke up at 5am this morning with it again. scarey and unsetteling. my shoulders and upper chest feel warm and a wierd lame like or tired like feeling in it. who should i consult about it.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Your symptoms can be caused by heart arrhythmia, heart ischemic disease, peptic ulcer, acid reflux or bile ducts stone. Stress can trigger both heart and stomach conditions. It is advisable to have heart ECG, stress test and heart ultrasound performed. If heart will be fine, abdominal ultrasound, liver enzymes, amylase should be checked. Upper GI endoscopy should be done as well. Hope this will help. Regards.
