I've Had Gald Bladder Problems In The Past. 3-4 Times
I've had gald bladder problems in the past. 3-4 times a year I have "attack". When it happens I become painfully ill. I vomit. Violently and painfully. The smell is awful. Like rotten eggs and feces. Then the diarrhea starts. Bile comes out both ends. The retching is so painful and strong that I've cracked a rib once. In the last 6 months the "attacks" have quadrupled. It seems like I'm having one every 3 weeks now. I'm a 46 year old white male. I work 6 days a week, 16 hour days. Often I'm so exhausted I come home an fall asleep in a chair (sitting up). My "attacks" seem to be brought on by when I sleep in a bed (usually 28-34hrs straight), laying down. Is there a correlation between the symptoms and sleeping laying down? Does the bile in the gald bladder "settle or seep" (for lack of better words) when I sleep laying down for long periods of time?
