What are the complications of gallstones?

There are several complications of a gallstone attack, including:

• Bloating.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Abdominal pain.
• Shoulder pain.
• Back pain.
• Chest pain.

Gallstones can also cause the gallbladder or bile ducts to become infected. A blockage in the common bile duct can cause jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes) or can irritate the pancreas.
