An abrupt, severe pain in the upper right abdomen that can occasionally radiate to the back or right shoulder is a common symptom of gallbladder problems. Biliary colic, as this pain is termed, usually occurs after a fatty meal. Additional symptoms encompass indigestion, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort. Fever, chills, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, and pale feces are signs of a more serious disease and may point to an infection or bile duct obstruction. Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience any of these symptoms, particularly if you have a fever or excruciating discomfort.
