Re: Pain after Gall Bladder Removal

i too had Laproscopic gallbladder removal..( 5 years ago).some of your episodes sounds like a piece of cake to mine, alhtough I know you are in pain...
Two days after surgery I was driving along and thought I was having a heart attack.the pain in my chest was excruciating and perspiration came off my forehead like rain.I did remember to hit redial on my car phone and let my son know i was on way to ER..they gave me baby aspirin by handful and did EKG . I followed this with 4 more tests , along with stress test.I aced it ...then my next appt at the VA they did same tests over..the Drs tell me I am having panic attacks.I am now on Lorazepam for my nerves, Rabeprazole for spasms in my rib cage ( they say it works in esophagus ) , oh yes and Nitro to pace my heart.....I have these atacks about ten times a week...
The first thing a friend of mine advised me to do was make sure if I ate lettuce to shred it fine...this I learned After my two episodes with salad...
I get such sharp pains under my rib cage and five minutes later I have to vomit....I have no life and it has ruined my social life too..
I will definitely stay with thi s forum and search with you for a cure for this type againy..God bless each and every one of you.
