    Gallbladder
    Nausea,swollen stomach, pulsating pain between shoulder blades,burping.heart racing
    Hospital test was okay for no stones. But the squeeze test showed the gallbladder was
    Malfunctioning. One doctor said to remove it. Two doctors said for non-removal.
    But all said maybe the pain was being caused by the gallbladder?
    What to do?

    Could also be coupled with ulcers.

    I had similar a few years back, went a wonderful shade of yellow.
    Found my gallbladder was "silted" up.

    Had a nice tube down the throat job and they opened the drain up some.
    Also prescribed large dose (600mg) of Zantac (Ranitidine) which calmed my stomach and other symptoms.

    Same here, they found no stones, said it was spasming and putting out bile whenever it wanted. They took mine out but It took a month to decide. You know they say you don't need it but I wish I still had it. You get tired of running to the bathroom. They gave me a med called WELCHOL. Not sure of the spelling but its close. Its for cholesterol, but it helps the stomach and your bowels. Not all people get the pain in the shoulder blades I did too. They took mine out in 2001 and My bowels are still not right. Ask about the med. I could have kissed the doctor after he gave me that. Wish you the best.
