for the past few days my ulcer and GERD symptoms have been acting up...this morning i was in bed and i turned over quickly and i felt the most excruciating pain in my stomach like a twisting stabbing knife pain. it was so bad it caused me to cry out. i laid on my back and tried to stretch it out again, after a while it went from excruciating to medium pain, it's not too bad right now but i can feel the sharp twisting pain when i move. im worried i could genuinely have twisted my stomach. my doctor told me i might have a hiatal hernia and i know pain this severe could indicate it's strangulated or wrapped around itself. I've been feeling nauseous too. im worried because it says the mortality rate can be 80% and i don't know if i can manage the idea of surgery and stuff. im only 21. i will be going to the out of hours gp but until then im going to be really shaky with worry. can anyone reassure me? :(
