Hidden symptoms  of Gall bladder stone

2026-02-16 09:00:58
My wife got operated two weeks back for Gall stone & Umbilical Hernia repair. She is recovering well. Prior to the surgery, she also had allergic cough and breathlessness due to asthma and this had been going on for above 6 months. In fact, the Surgeon had asked for clearance from Pulmunologist before surgery. After the surgery being completed and during recovery, we are seeing the almost sudden end of Asthma or breathlessness. Earlier requirement of inhaler is drastically reduced. We are not noticing any changes in weather or change in any previous environments which could immediate relieve the asthma. Hence the query, is Gallstone related to Bronchitis in any way? We somehow believe that the Umbilical hernia got worse due to cough (initiated by asthma). Gall stones have been detected in earlier scans in 2022 but the size and gall bladder wall thickness seemed to have increased recently. We made a choice to opt for a dual surgery as a mode of treatment.

They might not be directly related But could be due to acid reflux or diaphragmatic irritation And now resolution could be due to supportive medication Or latent period.

There is no direct relation btwn two conditions, but due to gall bladder distention, diaphragm movement is affected which might some times reflect as a asthma like symptoms, proper management of airways with nebulization is required, consultant a pulmnogist with detailed history.

Sir may be she was diaphragmatic irritation because of the gall stone which leads to poor efforts. Which will lead to experience asthma like symptoms Once she got operated everything went away. Asthma is clinical diagnosis.
