Nausea & Vomiting by Acute Cholecystitis

Nausea & Vomiting by Acute Cholecystitis

This is the inflammation of the gallbladder or cholecyst, a small organ located beneath the liver. Gallbladder stores bile and releases it into the GI tract for helping fat digestion. Therefore, the food especially fatty food can stimulate the secretion of the bile. Acute cholescystitis is usually caused by the gallbladder stone that blocks bile secretion resulting in the accumulation of bile in the gallbladder.

Symptoms include severe pain (biliary colic) and tenderness in the upper right abdomen, nausea and vomiting, and fever.  The pain may be temporarily relieved after the vomiting.

Please go to see your doctor for diagnosis and treatments if there is the abdominal pain with vomiting and fever.
