Hello,
Thanks for your query on Practo
"As" per your clinical history is concerned please do an ultrasound to rule out gallstones.
Health Tips
1)Don't skip meals. Try to stick to your usual mealtimes each day. Skipping meals or fasting can increase the risk of gallstones. 2)Lose weight slowly. If you need to lose weight, go slow. Rapid weight loss can increase the risk of gallstones. Aim to lose (about 0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week. 3)Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity and being overweight increase the risk of gallstones. Work to achieve a healthy weight by reducing the number of calories you eat and increasing the amount of physical activity you get. Once you achieve a healthy weight, work to maintain that weight by continuing your healthy diet and continuing to exercise.Consult with your dietician to make a chat.
