Hi.noted history of gallstones associated with abdominal pain vomiting, obstructive jaundice and high cholesterol levels. Your condition, might have been there for a long time already. And It's just now that the symptoms are occurring more frequently. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Unlike stones of the urinary tract, gallstones are not dissolved by medication. Symptoms may be controlled temporarily by medication and diet modification, but if triggering factors happen (such as fatty meal), symptoms will recur. Other diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. It is best if you consult with urgency, and discuss with your surgeon re elective (scheduled cholecystectomy) rather than wait for an emergent attack, which could lead to a stat surgery. An elective case has lesser risk of developing complications. Definitive treatment for gallstones is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder. It can be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat diet is also recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
