Did you know gallbladder pain is often mistaken for regular indigestion? Unlike heartburn, gallbladder discomfort is felt in the upper right abdomen or centre of the stomach, and can even radiate to your right shoulder or between your shoulder blades. This happens because the gallbladder shares nerve pathways with other parts of the upper body. Episodes, known as biliary colic, usually strike an hour or two after a heavy meal and can last from 15 minutes to several hours, often along with nausea. Many people carry gallstones for years without symptoms, so recognising the pattern early makes a real difference. If you've been experiencing unexplained abdominal pain after meals, it's worth getting it checked rather than waiting it out.
