My pain was in my chest right round to my back, it got so bad i could hardly breath and called an ambulance.
I don't think i ever vomitted but it was extremely painful, i could barely move and bearthing was difficult, it was also a lot worse after a heavy oily meal.
If you suspect you have them go to your GP and ask for an ultrasound.
I first started to get them when I was pregnant with my DD1. I put it down to the aches & pains of pregnancy. I got them again when breastfeeding and put it down to that and then when she was 3 weeks old I put it down to a new nursing bra, though the pain didn't go away when I removed the bra.
A week later I had just finished snacking on some fetta & spinach parcels when I got a pain in my chest. I had a shower and it didn't go away. I thought I was having a heart attack as the pain in my chest and into my back was excruciating. I ended up in hospital vomiting and in absolute agony. It was the worst pain, much more painful than labour for me.
5 months later my gallbladder was finally removed.
Best to go to the Dr or hospital to have it checked over. My attacks didn't always happen from oily meals. I could have something like a paddle pop and it would set me off. I kept my fat intake down to under 15g a day which was the only thing that stopped the food induced attacks.
