I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?

I had an ultrasound 5 years ago that showed two small gallstones in my gallbladder. Now I've had another ultrasound because I've been having trouble digesting food, and it says my gallbladder is collapsed. I never had surgery to remove it, so why would it show up as collapsed? What does this mean for my digestion issues?

A contracted or collapsed gallbladder, even without a prior surgical removal, can be caused by various factors, including chronic inflammation, gallstones, or the inability of the gallbladder to contract and release bile. While the ultrasound finding might suggest a gallbladder issue, it's essential to correlate it with your digestive symptoms and other diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause and its impact on your digestion

I'm really concerned because my ultrasound report came back showing hepatomegaly with fatty liver grade 1 and a partially distended gallbladder. My SGPT and SGOT levels are normal, and so is my bilirubin and alkaline phosphate. I do experience light inflammation and occasional pain in my right upper abdomen. I'm worried and feeling a lot of anxiety about this. Could you please tell me what's going on and recommend any medications or treatments I should consider? I'm eager to understand more about my situation.

Your ultrasound shows a mild fatty liver (grade 1) and a partially distended gallbladder, which could be linked to diet or minor gallbladder dysfunction. Since your liver enzymes and bilirubin are normal, its not alarming. Focus on a low-fat, balanced diet and regular exercise, and consult a doctor to discuss potential medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid if needed. Don't worry; this is manageable with lifestyle changes.
