Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has had anything similar.
A few weeks back I woke up around 4am with agonising pain in my upper abdomen; right under my breastbone. It radiated into my back and my thought at the time was a stomach bug of some kind. I broke out into a sweat. But nothing came of it- no sickness or anything.
Fast forward to Saturday morning the same time again, it all happened again but this time it lasted until 6-7am. It was horrid, I was exhausted. I had a temp of 38c on Sunday but nothing since really- it was 37.6c this morning.
It then happened on Sunday morning, and Monday morning. Lasting from around 4 to 8-9am. Nothing helped, tried Gaviscon, toast, Tums. All the positions.
So, yesterday I went to my GP. I am teacher and had to have the day off yesterday and felt immense guilt.
GP called the day surgery unit as he thinks it could be my gallbladder. So here I am, sat in the unit, waiting to be seen. He said I’d be here all day as it’s just a sit and wait service basically. People have been called in for their first assessment with a nurse but I’m still waiting.
I am just wondering what this all could be? The pain isn’t upper right which is what I am reading online if it is gallbladder. It’s central, but radiating into my back.
The only different was last night it started much earlier at 11:30pm. Each time it obviously wakes me. GP prescribed antibiotics and co-codomal but that hasn’t done anything for the pain.
During the day I feel sore there and maybe a little heartburn but nothing like acid reflux- it just feels sore in the centre.
Thought I’d reach out to see if others have had similar and what it turned out to be!
