5. Nausea and Vomiting – More Than Just Discomfort
Nausea and vomiting can accompany many gastrointestinal issues. However, when linked with bile duct stones, they are often more intense and persistent. These symptoms arise as the body reacts to the bile duct obstruction.
The discomfort is not to be taken lightly. It can interfere with daily life, making eating and even drinking water a challenge. Plus, it adds stress to an already stressed digestive system.
People might write off nausea and vomiting as a stomach bug or food poisoning. But when these symptoms persist, especially in conjunction with other signs of bile duct stones, they require immediate medical attention.
A healthcare professional can provide relief through medication and guide the next steps for treatment. Addressing these symptoms promptly can improve quality of life and prevent further complications. (5)
