[ohh my gosh!!!! i have the same symptoms

i went to the er thinking i was going to die. they said that they could not help me because my symptoms were already gone. so a couple days ago i was at work and the day was going well until i felt a nagging pain in my lower back then it took over to my lower stomach and into my upper back it felt like it was also taking my breath away the only vomfort i could give myself was to lay on the floor . i then felt as if i needed to go poop

and then within 10 to 20 min i felt better after the fire truck and ambulance came i was so afraid i was dying

Sounds like gallstones...have this checked. Can cause severe pain, and will come and go...Can also cause lots of complications if you wait..Sarge

Gallstones cannot usually be seen unless you have an ultrasound of the gallbladder. I don't know if they can detect it with a blood test or not. I went for about 7 years before I found out what was wrong, there is also a test that can tell you how much your gallbladder is working and what %.....try to have this done, and it will tell you whether or not you have stones...any ??? post, and I will reply.
