Severe stomach pain, stomach feels bloated, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in stool. On pepcid and zofran. Sufficient?
Patient: Tonight I have severe stomach pain . My stomach feels bloated and hard. I ve had stomach problems since last Tuesday, consisting of nausea , vomiting , and diarrhea . I mostly took Pepto Bismol to deal with it. When it started there wasn t much pain but the pain has gotten terrible. Sunday night I was in such pain I went to a 24 hour CVS where the pharmacist recommended Zantac , it helped and I was able to sleep. However, it doesn t seem to help with the pain anymore. I went to an urgent care facility yesterday since my doctor s office was closed, at first my blood pressure was through the roof--the nurses words--so the doctor gave me IV fluids as well as IV pepcid and zofran as well as a prescription for zofran. This morning I unexpectedly had diarrhea--I was in the shower, felt like I was passing gas but instead a large amount of diarrhea came out. When I was cleaning it up, most was brown, but a small amount was red. Between the pain and the possibility of blood in my stools, I m wondering if I should go to the ER tonight. I have an appt with my Dr. tomorrow but the pain is really bad right now and I m wondering if I ll be able to sleep. Thank you for your advice.  Edit:  Went to ER, then to my regular Dr next day.  I have gastritis, and I'm on 2 different antibiotics now.  Starting to feel a little better.  Can't eat anything but toast and gatorade though, so I miss real food.
