Please help - I am now worrying about my daughter and that is a million times worse than worrying about myself.
She is 28 and for the past couple of weeks has been getting terrible stomache cramps at night. Last night she said it was so bad she went to the bathroom because she thought she was going to be sick (she wasn't) and the pain was so bad she was double over and felt faint. She said the colour also drained from her face. She isn't a panicky person like I am thank goodness. This also happened last week again in the night. She said her stomach was really bloated and that she was also very 'windy', she has also been a bit constipated. She is having quite a bit of stress with her job at the moment and the symptoms settled down over the weekend but came back again last night after another day back at work. She has an appointment with her GP but not until Thursday.
I am now sick with worry and imagining all sorts of nasty things may be wrong with her. She is, apart from this, a fit and healthy person who does look after herself.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing and can you please reasssure me that it is probably something like IBS.
I would be grateful for any feedback. Thank you.
