Are you sure they are period pains? I ended up in a&e on Friday with a ruptured ovarian cyst - felt exactly like I was in labour !
I honestly thought I was going to be one of those women that didn't know they were pregnant until they give birth - I made the nurse do a pregnancy test!

If you are faint / breathless/ temperature you should go to a&e. They gave me oramorph and not even that did very much . Are you alone ? Maybe call a friend or relative

Call a doctor. Could be appendicitis, a cyst, a gallstone, trapped wind, anything. Hope you get it sorted x

I had this once and it turned out to be a stomach bug! Found out 5 hours later in a and e. Was horrendous! Hope you feel better soon x
