Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, a small organ near the liver that plays a part in digesting food. Normally, fluid called bile passes out of the gallbladder on its way to the small intestine. If the flow of bile is blocked, it builds up inside the gallbladder, causing swelling, pain, and possible infection.
You may experience symptoms of nausea and you may vomit. Unlike pain from gas, pain from a gallbladder attack typically is not relieved by changing position or burping or farting. Over-the-counter pain relievers may do little to diminish the pain. Heartburn or acid reflux are not symptoms of gallbladder problems. Keep in mind that other things besides gallbladder disease can cause similar symptoms. Some other possibilities include kidney, musculoskeletal, and gastric/peptic issues.
