Hi

posted last night as was worried about being sick but things have got a lot worse/different now so decided to make a new post

was working yesterday and was fine, came home had dinner and was fine, started to feel a bit queasy/sick later in the evening and ended up projectile vomiting. I didn’t have any pain initially but since then I’ve got a horrible pain in my right hand side- it feels like a stitch. It’s coming and going- last night I was lying on the floor of my room screaming in pain and my parents had to help me up, then it went away, now it’s back again but not quite as bad. It feels like a heavy sort of ache in my right side and right tummy/back. Since throwing up last night, I’ve been sick another 24 times (split across 7 episodes of being sick 3 times at a time if that makes sense) and have had diarrhoea. I just cannot keep anything down now and even drinking water makes me vomit. At first it was pink vomit with good but my stomach is clearly empty now and I’m just bringing up yellow/brown liquid now.

im starting to get slightly worried in case this is appendicitis, but the pain is coming and going whereas I was assuming with appendicitis it would be agony and not have any relief at all?

im 25 and normally healthy

im sort of wondering whether I should go and get some help now but at the same time if it’s just a vomiting bug I don’t want to be asshole that turns up to the GP etc and spreads it because you’re not meant to do that. And I’m worried this pain is maybe just trapped wind? But I’m also just worried it’s appendicitis and it gets worse if I ignore it

sorry- total babble I know, just wondered if anyone had any advice or could help at all. Thanks so much in advance x

That's how my appendicitis started, and you need attention a.s.a.p. A burst appendix is life threatening..

I’d at least call 111. The right sided pain and vomiting do raise concerns of appendicitis. Sounds horrible OP, hope you feel better soon. Get some medical help.

It sounds like gall bladder so you need to get to a hospital since your vomiting. Your pancreas can get infected due to gall bladder issues. I am not a doctor but have seen this happen twice with family. Its an A& E issue.

Appendicitis often starts with vomiting and yes the pain can come and go. Please go to A&E right now

If it is that bad I would probably call 111 for advice
