I think I have gallstones. I've been having "attacks" since my dc was born a few months ago which at first lasted 30 minutes but have increased in length and frequency.
I had any symptoms for a month or so so sort of forgot about it and didn't make a doctors appointment but for the last 3 days I've had this constant pain under my right boob which shoots through and across my back.
It starts off like heartburn but gradually gets worse especially at night if I'm laying down. At its peak at night it causes me to vomit the pain is so bad.
Today the pain has been here since midday and it's getting worse, I've had diarrhea and if I breath in its a sharp pain in the right ribs almost like a stitch.
I don't have childcare which is why I've held off especially at night as my baby is sleeping.
I don't want to wait the hospitals time if they can't do anything or it wouldn't warrant a visit to A &E. My doctors surgery is closed until Monday but I'm not sure I can wait until then and we don't have walk in clinics here.
Would I be wasting hospital staff time and would I be unreasonable to go ?
