Have been feeling really sick since Monday afternoon and have had a really painful stomach, accompanied by er diarroea (sorry, too much info I know!!). I thought it was just maybe a one off thing on Monday afternoon but its still as bad today! I have an appointment to see the doc today at 4.00pm, but its a registar I will be seeing, is this a qualified doctor??

Am worried what it could be thats wrong with me, I didnt eat anything out of the ordinary at the weekend, just a pizza on saturday and sunday lunch on sunday all the things I ate at least 3 other people did, and theres nothing wrong with them so cant be food poisoning. Also, dont think its anxiety or stress, as I wasnt overly worried or panicing about anything before the symptoms started on Monday afternoon. Also, dont think could be stomach flu, as altho have constant stomach pains havent actually felt sick snough to be sick and altho have diarroea its not constant all day, I just have the pains. Only possible thing I can think of is I have had a few nights out over last week where have drunk quite alot, and this sometimes make my stomach bad the next day, but its never lasted for more than the day after before.

I recently posted on here worried about the possibility of being something like 4 or 5months pregnant and not knowing about it (i.e. no weight gain, have still had periods altho they have been light, a pregnancy test was negative 3 weeks ago) but now Im starting to panic that feeling sick and diarroea is a sign of pregnancy isnt it, due to hormone changes or something?? (really wouldnt want to be pregnant).

The other thing im worried it could be is liver failure! Ive read this can cause nausea and diarroea, and as I said I have been having quite alot to drink recently (though not all the time, not an alcholic lol, just probs have been drinking a bit too excess of late). Though im thinking would have other symptoms or have had warning signs by now right?

Plus, am really worried that this wont be gone by next week, and I go on holiday next Thursday! Also, hate going to docs, so am terrified! The registrar is a female asian doc and know this will sound mad but worried if I mention the pregnancy fears that she will judge me for er getting up to stuff before marriage (im not religious so not my views lol, but am worried because of her religion she might??)

Hi OP,

I can not be much help, but wish you well.

You mention liver failure, now if this was the case you would have known about it long ago and you would have far more symptoms, yellow eyes, dark urine just to name a couple, I would not worry about this. Go to the doctor and see what they say, I am sure the anxiety is making matters worse,

Yeah, sure im being insane thinking that stomach pain and diarroea is anything serious, I think im just so worried since have been fretting am pregnant recently, and then read that pregnant women can suffer this due to hormone changes but trying to tell myself this really cant be possible!

Plus am scared cos this doctor is a registrar and not really sure what that is, my colleague at work seems to think its a doc who is training still?

I'm not sure that diarroea is a big sign of being pregnant. It sounds like you may have a stomach bug, my son had the same symptoms as you a week ago, I think there is something going around.

Hi Louise, I had similar symptoms start last week out of the blue..Hubby had it for less than 24 hours but just the tum discomfort stayed with me for a week. Griping, achy uncomfortable feelings with occassional nausea. A friend locally told me she had it and several neighbours.
There are tum bugs around and some people seem to miss them in the same family.

Does anyone know what a registrar is?

A registrar is normally a fully qualified Dr who has specialist training in a specific field, a registrar is normally seen in a hospital. So they are fully trained Drs.

Hi Louise, try not to worry i think you just have a stomach bug but because your worrying about it it,s making it feel worse than it is. The most common symptoms of anxiety are bad stomach,nausea and diorrhea, I don,t think , you have anything serious wrong with you, please try not to worry.:hugs:

If I ask my doc about a blood test to rule out pregnancy 100 percent will they think im insane given have no symptoms really bar these ones, and have done a test recently.

I think just by examining you she will know if your pregnant or not but from what you say i dont think you are xx
