I feel like death

[Richie]

I went to the doctors on Thursday as I had excruciating pains on my left lower abdomen. He told me he thinks my bowel could be just cramped so he prescribed me with some tablets. I took the tablets yesterday and last night things turned for the worst. I had the shooting dart pain on my left lower abdomen, I was finding it hard to breath and I was also getting pains in my chest. I literally couldn't move last night and during the night things felt even worse, I tried to get myself into a comfortable position but once I fell back to sleep I start getting dart pains in my chest but when I moved they went away. I really hope the doctor didn't diagnose me wrongly.

What should I do? The GP is booked up until Monday and I'm afraid things will only get worse again tonight.

Does your GP have emergency appointments? Mine saves a few in the morning for patients who really can't wait for their actual booked appointment. If they are really full I'd think about going to the hospital, it sounds kinda serious, and you don't wanna take a risk on your health.

It doesn't sound like nothing - better to be safe than sorry!

Pains in the chest, and difficulty breathing shouldn't be left, I think you should check firstly for an out of hours surgery, failing that go to A&E and take your medication with you. Don't wait!

Appendix are lower right.

Just follow as the doctor has already said and if it progresses head off to A&E.
