There are
a lot of possibilities for this pain.
The cardiac one is the most obvious. But following gall bladder surgery, many
people get sluggish duct and bile flow, as a side effect. The spasm of the duct can feel like it is referring to the heart area.
Also some gall bladder patients are prone to gas, and sharp gas pains can be very confusing too. A trial of Gas-X may help, to eliminate this possibility.
People vary in their tolerance to certain foods, following gall bladder surgery. And also large meals can be very problematic. High fat, and garlic seem to be the most common mentioned to me over the years.
So it is best to check with the doctor...since many possibilities exist for your
FIL.
Take care.
