Is anyone up?

[housequery]

Nb: I have health anxiety

For about 20 hours I've had intermittent pain in the middle/rhs of my stomach. It's hard to describe, a low grade sharpish pain id say.

• no diarrhoea or constipation - normal poo (sorry tmi).
• weeing is fine
• eating and drinking fine
• pushing down on that part of my stomach doesn't make it hurt more or less
• I had my appendix out 11 years ago
• no temperature

But it's enough to now and again be caught enough to audibly "ouch". I'm 30 btw.

Do you mean belly or anatomical stomach?

I don't know. I attached a picture pointing to the area.

Does paracetamol make the pain better when it occurs?

Does it change based on movement? Can you sleep through it?

Is your period due in about a week or so?

It could be a pulled muscle, or a strained diaphragm. Have you been coughing, sneezing, hicupping or laughing a lot today?

My period is due in about 3 days but doesn't feel periody at all.

Perhaps stupidly I haven't taken painkillers yet as it comes and goes so quickly though now it's becoming a bit steadier so I've taken buscopan.

I went to the GP this morning and she felt my stomach for all of ten seconds then said because I have a (?) ear infection my stomach is making more acid. I already take esomperazole so I'm not convinced but hey.

Possible Mittelschmerz. Literal German for middle pain.

Ovulation pain.

Looks like a stomach issue to me, perhaps gastritis as you are taking omeoprazole I guess you already have got reflux or similar.

Can't be ovulation pain as I'm due on within a few days .

I don't feel ill I've just got low grade pain. (I say low grade as I'm a migraine sufferer, ive had appendicitis and two kids which, to me, are real pain).

TMI - poo remains normal, been out and about, had a roast dinner but just had to eat slowlllly.

It's just concentrated in the same space. I'd say about 3 x 50p, 2 inches above and to the right of my belly button.

I might try a wheat bag actually.

I googled. I have a stomach ulcer or gallstones.

Why did I do that?

I'm a teacher, 9 school days left, I have to go in.
