Gallstones might be asymptomatic, even for years. These gallstones are called 'silent stones' & do not require treatment. Symptoms commonly begin to appear once the stones reach a certain size . A characteristic symptom of gallstones is a 'gallstone attack', in which a person might experience intense pain in the upper-right side of the abdomen, often accompanied by nausea & vomiting, that steadily increases for approximately 30 minutes to several hours. A patient might also experience referred pain between the shoulder blades or below the right shoulder. These symptoms might resemble those of a 'kidney stone attack'. Often, attacks occur after a particularly fatty meal & almost always happen at night. Other symptoms include abdominal bloating, intolerance of fatty foods, belching, gas, & indigestion. A positive Murphy's sign is a common finding on physical examination. Gallstones Answer above is based on work by authors at wikipedia.org.
