Get yourself to A&E ASAP. They can sort it out.
If you are getting an infection of some sort, they can figure it out very quickly. Just go.
Good luck and keep posting here. Hope it is not bad.

I think you should go to the hospital. If you are this worried and potentially justifiably why would you not go

Flowers sound like you're having a rough time

Most likely it's an ordinary holiday tummy bug/food poisoning which is quite bad enough. Remember, even doing something not recommended by doctors doesn't make you immune to all the ordinary nasties that happen to people anyway.
But even if it is an infection picked up from seawater then I'd have thought it is almost certainly treatable by antibiotics.

I have really bad health anxiety so I do over react to the smallest of things and my boy friend will flip if he takes me to hospital and it turns out I just got a dodgy stomach 😢 I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight so if I feel worse il wake him up Thankyou for your comments

It doesn't help that Iv just came across this man who had a tattoo two weeks before going on holidays he went in the sea and caught a bug that ate him away and within two days he was dead !

I think you should stop reading the internet and make arrangements to see a doctor.

This might actually be a good time for ringing 111.

Ringing 111 is the best idea.
You are rightly worried about reading the story of that man. Sepsis meddles with brain functions deeply and there is usually no way you could self diagnose even if you were a GP. So just make a 111 call. They will send you to A&E I think.
Just do it.

Hi OP,
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.
I'm not an expert but I think you will be ok if bleeding has stopped as cervix may be nearly closed. I think i would phone 111 for advice if I was you as you are clearly very distressed.
Were you feeling unwell before you found out about the potential for infection? I was wondering if your anxiety might be causing you to vomit and feel nauseous rather than an infection itself.
Give 111 a call and I'm sure they'll help and you won't need to stay up all night worrying Flowers

Hello op. How are you? Hope you are better now.

araclouise · 10/07/2017 23:46

Hi everyone so I'm alive 😂 I'm so sorry once my anxiety kicks in that's it I start to sound like a crazy person ! Well
I still feel sick but I do honestly reckon it's just a dodgy stomach.i did go to the doctors today but ended up not mentioning what I intended going up there for because I didn't feel comfortable taking to a male doctor but I am going to see the nurse in the morning to make me stop worrying . Thankyou all ❤️
