Do I bother doctor with stomach gripes

Had them for 3 days now.. really painful gripes all over stomach that make me feel a bit light headed & wheezy...worse about 2 hrs after eating, then ease off & I'm ok - also better with paracetamol. Have taken IBS medication today too in effort to stop them, even tho never diagnosed with IBS. Have had this same feeling a few times before, get it every couple months & can't find a common factor.. so am beginning to think maybe I need to seek medical advice., but really cba with trying to get an bc appointment etc! Poos ok- a little constipated & do sometimes have mucus in. I had colonoscopy etc a few years back for various gastric issues & all ok so assuming it can't be anything serious but it's so painful.. woke me up in the night last night. Would you hold out for another day or so or call doc?

Well we keep getting told via the TV ads from the NHS that if something doesn’t feel right in our body to contact our GP. Whether the GP gives a stuff about our symptoms is a different matter. With those symptoms OP you should obviously be checked over. I hope your GP listens to you and doesn’t fob you off. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.
