To go to A&E, don't want to waste anyone's time

[midsummernight]

Frequent poster, name changed for this.
Need some advice, DH saying A&E but I don't want to be seen as a time waster.

Currently suffering from sever lower abdominal pains, passed out twice from the pain. Have just started bleeding fairly heavily but have already had period this month. Can't think straight because of pain. Just really worried because can't put it down to period pains as that happend last week. Any advise would be great, what
Would you do?

It's such a terrible thing that the time wasters make genuine people worry about going to A&E for real emergencies. Hope you're ok

Hope you're being seen to and you're ok OP

Hope you are ok OP.

I've only just seen this I'm glad you've listened to your DH and the posters on here and have gone to the hospital I hope your okay and that they can sort out what's happened to you easily.

Good luck x

Unexplained heavy bleeding is an A&E job for sure.

Haven't read the whole thing, but my old flatmate had the same thing and I took her to A&E one night and she was taken in and kept for 3 days while they checked her heart and other things. They found out the cause (I can't remember what it was now) and helped her so she no longer had the pains or passing out.

Good luck, OP!

I think the genuine time wasters don't think ask the question, am I wasting time. So as soon as people say they are worried about that, I feel pretty sure they are not time wasters!

Good luck op. Hope your wait is short.

Hope you are ok Op

Hope you're ok

Hope you're ok op.

Glad you went to A&E, hope you are OK

Glad you are on the way OP...

Of course you're not time wasting!

Get well soon

Glad that she asked and then went - so frustrating when someone posts with concerning sounding symptoms, gets told to go to a&e and then just keeps saying actually that they won't bother etc

Hope you get seen soon and feel better OP

Time-waster - if you have time to post your symptoms and gather the results of a poll on mumsnet then you are neither an accident nor an emergency and you should call 111.

Hope you're ok op x

Hope you're ok.

Hope you're sorted soon xx

NotAnotherUserName1234 that's a very dangerous thing to post. Over the years on MN we've had:

• the mother of a child with life-threatening complications of chicken pox 'do a poll ' on whether she should try and wake him
• a young woman with an ectopic pregnancy having some 'awful period pain' 'post for a whinge'
• someone in the early stages of sepsis posting for advice because they felt a bit 'out of it'

-several other people in real, proper emergencies, posting for advice.

Being able to type on a phone does not mean you are well. It means you can type on a phone.

Hope your ok op

I think it's scary people have to double check whether to use A+E with such symptoms.

Presuming different circumstances but I suffered a haemorrhage and fainted after a late miscarriage. The ambulance was there before I even came too.

I'm sure I've read (on here no doubt) blood loss and losing consciousness are classed as urgent.

NotAnother was that sarcasm?
