Morning. From what I understand and the NHS website confirms, is that gallbladder pain is sudden and very severe.
Abdominal pain (biliary colic)
Gallstones can cause sudden, severe abdominal pain that usually lasts 1 to 5 hours, although it can sometimes last just a few minutes.
The pain can be felt:
in the centre of your abdomen (tummy)
just under the ribs on your right-hand side – it may spread from here to your side or shoulder blade
The pain is constant and isn't relieved by going to the toilet, passing wind or being sick.
It's sometimes triggered by eating fatty foods, but may happen at any time of day and may wake you up during the night.
Biliary colic doesn't happen often. After an episode of pain, it may be several weeks or months before you have another episode.
Some people also have periods where they sweat excessively and feel sick or vomit.
When gallstones cause episodes of biliary colic, it's known as uncomplicated gallstone disease.
