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

@toastedmallow how are you doing?

I had something like this once and it did turn out to just be a tummy bug HOWEVER I definitely think you've done the right thing in going to hospital. Hopefully they've fully examined you and can give you some answers 💐

Glad you are being checked over. Hope you feel better soon

I thought Gallstones maybe. Sounds similar to my symptoms before it was removed. How are you now?

Sounds exactly like when I had appendicitis many years ago-although I did have a temperature. The surgery was minor and I was up and walking the next day. I have about a 5cm scar. Wishing you all the best - let us know how you get on.
