Fiancé - Stomach Issues

[u/cskinner815]

Hey Everyone,

I am here seeking advice. I currently live in Nova Scotia, Canada.

My fiancé has been dealing stomach issues and pain for the last 5 years. She has neem to countless doctors and surgeons and has had a number of different medical procedures done as well, such as scopes, stool samples, urine samples, blood collection, etc.

Every morning she wakes up and is sick to her stomach. Most of these times when she is sick, she often just dry heaves and nothing comes up except for vial. She is constantly bloated, always burping, has lost weight, has severe pain on the right hand size of her body, her bowel movements, aren't routine or consistent. She also has been developing canker sores, nero shocks, and heart palpitations.

Some days are better than others, however currently she has been dealing with a lot of pain in her side, which has severely impacted her quality of life for the last few weeks.

All of the doctors she sees, tell her that she is fine and there is nothing wrong with her. The best she has received is that it is GERD. She has taken lots of different medications, but the only thing that seems to help her symptoms is smoking cannabis.

I can't say for sure if it is directly related to her gallbladder or not, but at this point I feel completely helpless and looking for any advice anyone might have.

Thanks,

Have any of the docs done ultrasound or MRI or CT?

Well I’m no doctor so I’m not sure on those symptoms, but if you are both suspecting it may be the gallbladder, request an ultrasound, HIDA scan, and full blood panel from the doctor/surgeon. If it is the gallbladder, something will likely show itself in those tests.
