Other than pain, what are the symptoms of gallstones?

Dennis,

Doctors have told me that the fatigue I am feeling can

be a symptom. I have also had chest pain on exertion

after I eat, as well as indigestion and heartburn. I

haven't had a lot of pain, but tests have ruled out

other things and ultrasound showed multiple

gallstones. I am wrestling with the strong suggestion

from doctors to have it taken out! Hope this helps

you.

I suffered from fatigue for years, mostly in the late afternoons. I would

have great difficulty even driving my son to his afternoon music lesson.

Although I never mentioned this fatigue to my doctor, I no longer suffer

from it since I had surgery. My fiance's mother (now in her mid eighties)

also found that she had a new burst of energy after surgery. So, I would

have to agree that fatigue can definitely be a symptom. Eliminating the

stones may very well also eliminate the fatigue.
