Should I still go to urgent care?

[teawrecks]

Had severe stomach pain that woke me up at 2am this morning. Ended up puking on and off since then, and getting super like "just went for a run" sweaty.

If I walked too much or stood too long I had a difficult time breathing? Almost like I was having an anxiety attack.

Couldn't get comfortable no matter if I was standing, sitting or laying.

Finally ended up falling asleep at like 6am and just woke up after an hour and the pain is gone, at least the extremeness of it. I still feel an occasional ache when I breathe.

not sure if I should still go to figure out what was wrong or wait 2.5 more hours to make an appointment with my regular doctor.

Should note the vomiting didn't come with nausea. It was just suddenly like "hell im gonna puke"

She thinks there was something I ate that just really needed to come out. Didn't find anything wrong with my stomach or heart or lungs or anything.

You could have what I've had recently, caused by stress: an inflammation of both the stomach and the sternum. The first thing can cause stomach pains and vomiting and the other one pain while breathing and symptoms that come close to a heart attack :-(
I had to "de-stress" for the sternum problem and take medication for the stomach problem.
Better go see a doctor, these symptoms could be anything from worrying to innocent.

Go. have them check you for appendicitis. Do you have any of the following?

-Fever
-Nausea & vomiting
-Pain that is consistent and may be a dull ache or severe near the right side of your abdomen

If you do, go immediately. Easy to fix and extremely dangerous if you don't.

[teawrecks]

You didn't read my post at all if you're asking if I have any of those symptoms.

[sexyalphamale]

Yes I did, I guess I should have been more clear. You are in immediate danger of appendicitis. Go now. Stop messing about on the internet and go get checked.

[Sadly_It_Fell_Off]

I would go as it sounds like it needs further investigation. I hope you feel better soon.

[snowangle]

Yeah, severe abdominal pain is a good reason to see your doctor.

[teawrecks]

Last time I told her about it she chalked it up to me taking my birth control too late in the day. So I came to the med center. '

[chrisbigman]

Hmmm... that's a good question. If you are feeling better, then you could wait until the appointment. If not, then go to urgent care NOW. Although, it sounds like you haven't made the appointment yet. So, maybe you should consider urgent care.

[teawrecks]

My doctors office isn't even open for another like 2 hours.

[chrisbigman]

Then go to urgent care. Do you have insurance? What's making you hesitating on going to urgent care?

[teawrecks]

I don't want them to turn me away because I'm not experiencing the symptoms currently :/ but I'm in the waiting room

[chrisbigman]

I didn't realize they would turn people away, especially if it's not busy. If they turn you away, then schedule an appointment with your doctor when it opens. Until then, stick with urgent care.

[anonman32]

I am no doctor, but it sounds like food poisoning or something, the sweating and puking are a sign that the body is trying to puke out and sweat out something to get rid of it quickly.

Be cautious if it comes back i would go to the hospital.

[jacquesvol]

It may be nothing, or something you ate, I can't know it. See a doctor about it.

[teawrecks]

Nobody said you would or should know it?

Read the update.

[RainbowFanGirl]

I think you should go to the ER of it's that severe.

[teawrecks]

The whole point is it's not anymore so I'm not sure if I should go to urgent care and tell them my symptoms of what I had or just go... home.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Well then yes. See what it's all about at the urgent care.

[HaveNoName]

Please take an appointment with the regular doctor anyway. If the pain comes again and you feel the same symptoms, run to urgent care.

[WiseOwl]

Make a doctor appointment and find out. It could be anything from early pregnancy symptoms to ovarian cancer to nothing. The sooner you know the better options you have.

[WhereAmI]

Personally, I wouldn't unless there was another episode.

[Anonymous]

if you can write all that and even sleep through it, its hardly "urgent"

[teawrecks]

As I said in the post it doesn't hurt ANYMORE. The pain DID wake me up.

[Opinion Owner]

be that as it may, "urgen" means "omg im gonna die i need the ambulance here right now"

[Opinion Owner]

and "urgent" too

[teawrecks]

Except no. The urgent care is there when your doctors office is closed and you can't / don't want to wait for an appointment

[Opinion Owner]

they've given that a fairly odd name then :D

[Máiiréad]

Sounds like a stomach flu maybe?

[teawrecks]

That's what my mom said but I don't remember having stomach pain as bad as I did just from a stomach flu. Like I felt it in my back it hurt so bad.

[chrisbigman]

Or maybe food poisoning? I had that once with similar symptoms.

[Máiiréad]

If it comes back, go to Urgent Care.

[singlebee]

Could be gastritis... Did you eat too much?

[teawrecks]

No. I haven't had food since yesterday and ate the same thing I usually do.

[singlebee]

Ohh ok you should go to the doctor I think...

[Puppylove94]

where did your stomach hurt?

[Harry797]

Go to the doctor

[Waffles731]

Go to urgent care.
