BG Medical: Should Ikith go to the hospital or should Ikith wait for the doctor to opens?

[Ikith]

(Right now I am warm but not hot like I was)

Earlier I was extremely hot (Not hot enough to break a sweat or somethings fucked up in me and I can't sweat) and below my stomach (Right side and center) were hurting like all hell when I pressed on them (Now its a very dull pain but its whether I press on the sides or not and it gets worse by a tiny bit when I press). I can't poop and when I take off my clothes I get really cold unless I am under a blanket (Below room temp obviously) my hands and feet have stayed cold even when I am under a blanket and my throat is sore (very dull) when I swallow saliva and anything else.

BG Should I go to the hospital or should I just wait until the doctor... OR should I just wait it out?

cancer

Oh that's okay then I will wait it out and what a coincidence an info mercial with the cure for cancer just came on. BRB.

[Swarley]

I wouldn't wait it out. Go to the hospital.

[Norellicus]

In all seriousness, how long exactly do you have to wait to see your doctor, if you took that option? ER visits cost significantly more than just seeing your general practitioner during normal hours. You don't sound like you're dying but I wouldn't just sleep it off at home either.

It opens in about two hours (8:00am PST) and even then I have to call in ahead and make an appointment HOWEVER they are very good with making them the same day/within the hour.

[Norellicus]

If you're seriously in a debilitated state right now in such a way that it's difficult to even function, go to the ER. If not, wait and just see your regular doctor.

Definitely don't just ignore it.

Ooo another symptom:
Breathing in deep hurts, Snot is a matte white but no congestion. Headache as well if I didn't mention it.

I was also around someone that had a sinus infection and had just gotten her flu shot.

You might have an obstructed bowel. Depending on when the symptoms started that isn't really something you want to wait around for. Judging from your symptoms, though, perhaps it's just a case of colitis and can wait.

Really hard to tell from symptoms, which is why most people wait it out and either end up worse or dead. If there is no difference in cost between seeing your doctor and going to an ER, go to an ER. If they catch something serious you'll be glad and your medical bills will be lower.

Also, you will want to avoid laxatives or anything that makes you go to the bathroom. They'll want a stool sample to make sure it isn't parasitic in nature.

Lastly, if you absolutely have to tough it out, take some Naproxen to lessen the pain. If I were you, though, I would consider the ER. The area you're describing and symptoms are also consistent with Appendicitis.

It's really just difficult to tell whether the throat symptoms are related or not. Go to the doctor now.

[Icari]

you could also check into an urgent care clinic and see what they recommend.

[CalaisDL]

What you're describing sounds a lot like the same symptoms I had with appendicitis. You don't really want to screw around with appendicitis because the complications that can come form a burst appendix are pretty hellish. I would get to a doctor as soon as possible. I would also avoid eating or drinking until then, because doing so could delay the time of surgery, if you in fact need one.

[AzazaelFenrir]

Appendix go boom. ER a go go.

[shindycat]

I would go to the DR asap, if they think its an emergency they will send you to the hospital.

[Ikith]

My side stopped hurting after I let one rip (I swear it was at least a one minute fart). I have a doctors appointment at 12 and I just took some nice pain killers.

[Tagus]

(I swear it was at least a one minute fart)

audio or it didn't happen

[Amelya]

Don't you have a walk-in clinic in your area?

Also I really wouldn't take painkillers when you have no idea what is wrong...gogo hiding real symptoms before they're diagnosed?

[jinkazama]

Dont you love that, I have two swollen lymph nodes. One on either side of my neck, now determined to be allergies causing them to swell up. But right after I found them, with my previous background of Melanoma I was already worried then out of no where, having never heard them before, Lymphoma commercials come out of nowhere!

Fuck my brain, plays tricks on me

[Guyverarmor]

I felt the same way when my appendix was inflamed, shit hurts man

[Melena]

Mine was similar when I had appendicitis earlier this year. Felt fucking gassy, stomach and sides hurt, and fuck walking, felt horrible pain in my tail bone. Turned out the fucker was slightly enlarged for almost a week and they A: don't know how it didn't rupture on me, and B: had to make a 4th incision since my appendix wasn't in the "normal" place. So yea, get that shit checked out.

Oh and if it is appendicitis, you'll hurt more after surgery then before you went in

[Ikith]

I will live. They are running a culture on me but right now I'm taking meds as if it were viral.
