Advice needed

[Phoenixess]

Since being diagnosed with severe anxiety I am apprehensive about phoning the doctors over problems I have. In the past I wouldn’t have given it a second thought.
Today I have woken up with a horrible pain in my right upper abdomen. Under my ribs ish it’s ever so painful it’s making me feel quite sick. I don’t know whether to:
A) ring my GP
B) ring 111
C) take two paracetamol and have a bath to see if that helps
D) go to a and e if I’ve ruptured something
Please can you help if possible with the best way to proceed as I have no clue in the slightest what is causing this pain it’s horrible
Thank you

I'd say ring 111, since they're going to have more information at their fingertips.

Have you been reading my posts? Because this is EXACTLY what I'm having at the mo. Only I've had it for about 3 weeks.

I consulted my GP because it isn't easing up and it's the right thing to do. I've had blood tests, a nice little tube to poo in, and I'm having ultrasound next week. Painkillers don't touch it.

I would ring your GP cocker first, and if you're not satisfied, and you're in a LOT of pain - then ring 111.

I'm not actually joking when I say it could even be trapped wind because that can get VERY painful. Try some peppermint tea and have a good fart. X

Nora, I was apprehensive about mentioning trapped wind until you mentioned it. But yes! Can be very painful and especially around the ribcage. But can appear anywhere in the body.
Always best to get checked out though if you worried Phoenixess. x

Hey Nora and carnation
Bit of an update .... apologies Nora I hadn’t seen your posts but bless you hope you get better soon....my mum felt the area and felt a lump so she rang the doctor on my behalf because I started to cry it’s making me feel nauseous. Anyway he phoned me back and he said “I hear you have a lump” probably expecting health anxiety lady to be on the phone but I was calm and in bed and I explained I woke up with this pain described where it was and he asked me down to be examined at 3.30pm I’ll let you know how I get on. I’m hoping and praying just a torn muscle but don’t know why I feel so sick with it.
