Bro, gallbladder pain is no joke, my roommate had it and he couldn't even stand up straight. He used a hot water bag on his stomach which helped him manage till we took him to the clinic. Don't eat any greasy hostel food for now, stick to simple curd rice.

I just got discharged after my gallbladder surgery last week. At home, before the surgery, the only thing that temporarily eased the ache was drinking warm peppermint tea and completely avoiding dinner if I felt bloated. But remember, these are just temporary fixes.

True, avoiding any heavy or fatty foods is the best way to prevent the pain from worsening at home.

I completely understand how stressful and scary it feels when that pain suddenly strikes at night. Sitting upright and practicing slow, deep breathing can help calm your body down. However, please don't try heavy home remedies; it's safest to get a scan done.

I am feeling a dull ache on my right side and I'm so worried it might be a gallbladder issue. Does anyone else get this pain along with mild nausea after eating? I'm trying to decide if I should wait till morning or go to the hospital tonight.
