Should I go to A&E…?

I know the general consensus is no, not unless your leg is falling off but I am in agony with my stomach. I had what I thought was gastritis start in January, but kept having flare ups of agonising pain that would then subside. I’ve been in pain for 48 hours, in my stomach radiating to the right side and upper back. It’s not easing off. I’ve eaten a small amount of rice today, nothing else. This increased the pain. Antacids have stopped working. I’ve been throwing up what I think is acid.

I have tried several times in the past three months to phone my gp but i have been in a long queue & unable to wait on hold as i have to look after the baby. Should I go to a&e? The thought of sitting there in this pain is horrifying but i’m terrified ive got something seriously wrong.

Don't know about the vaccine as my DP hasn't been vaccinated. He had covid at the beginning of February and 3 weeks later had appendicitis.

Good luck! I hope they get you sorted. I'm just going to have a little kip for you 😉

Poor you Such a long painful wait
I hope you're given enough meds to cover you until your scan

Is there any way of bringing the ultrasound forward?
