Stomach pains for last 4 days - what could it be?
I started having stomach pains on monday, which are fairly constant throughout the day, sometimes better and sometimes worse. It only seems slightly worse after I eat. I started eating a more sensible diet on monday after eating too much at Christmas, so no junk, but also I have not cut down too much and am probably still eating a normal amount of calories, not actual dieting. I have had occasional diarrhoea over this week but it's not too bad. I'm not stressed either. I have to go to the doctor twice next week so I don't want to ask for an emergency appointment this week, I was just wondering if any one had any ideas what could be causing my mild, chronic stomach pains? Doctor Frank?
Stomach cramps after a stomach virus?
I've had a stomach virus for the past 4-5 days now (since Friday), but I'm not sure when it 'weakened' up. During the first 3 days I had it, I was lightheaded, dizzy, nauseous, and it hurt when I walked. I had diarrhea as well, but no vomiting. Now, I believe it has gotten better, and I've been going to school. My dad for some reason has been thinking it is because I'm really hungry/haven't eaten regularly/have bad gas, but I know it is more than that. He's been making me eat a whole lot, too, not really helping anything. The main problem now, is I've been having these bad stomach cramps, They're the type of cramps you get from running for a long time, but I get them after walking only a few feet. I can still feel them while I'm sitting still but they're not as bad. I've tried going to the bathroom (1 & 2), burping, and even passing gas, but the pains keep coming back. Can anyone recommend anything?

Stomach pain and diarrhea for 4 days. What can help?
I'm a female; 20 years old and I've been having weird stomach pains(not like cramping or anything, but the kind of pain you get when you have diarrhea. i don't know if that makes sense...) but anyway, for the past four days I've been experiencing stomach pain and diarrhea. Especially while I'm at work. I haven't been eating a lot because I'm afraid I'm going to get sick. It seems that almost every time I eat something I end up feeling sick to my stomach; no matter what it is. I've been smoking ciggs for about a year and a half, and I know this contributes to the problem, but ever since I was 17, my senior year in high school, I've been having trouble with my stomach and passing bowels a lot more frequently. I've been having a lot of anxiety for about 6 months now, but it's recently gotten worse after being in several car crashes. So could anxiety be part of the cause of what's going on with my stomach? I hate even going out anywhere 'cause I know I'm going to get sick to my stomach and it's embarassing. Any comments or advice on how to get rid of a stomachache/diarrhea??

Abdominal pain for the past few days?
I've had stomach pains for the past maybe 3-4 days. First it started off with my outer abs hurting whenever I moved side to side or stretched back. I thought it was just muscle pains, but I don't work out. Then yesterday night, my entire stomach started hurting, a long with the pains before. It felt like I was really constipated, but I didn't poo or fart. The pain lasted for a good 12+ hours until I fell asleep. When I woke up, it went back to my outer stomach again. Then last night, all the pain moved too my lower abdomen. It's tolerable. Now it's only on my right side, right above my hip bone. I feel pain when I put pressure on it, or move to the left side. I also feel discomfort when I laugh or sneeze, or even try to flex my stomach. I'm not sure this is appendicitis, because I don't have a fever, & i'm not throwing up.
Why am I having these real bad stomach pains?
Are you sure you aren't just dehydrated buddy?? Expecting your digestive system to digest food and transport essential vitamins and nutrients with no water in your system is an extremely huge ask ............ Water is imperative to life. Without water your body will have a terrible time breathing, digesting food, transporting nutrients, lubricating your joint sockets etc.etc.etc.etc......... nothing substitutes for water. your body needs at least 2 - 3 litres of water daily to function efficiently Geez, we need at least 2 litres daily just to maintain aspiration (to breathe)!! so drink up buddy ♥ Increase your intake of fresh filtered water 20 minutes before or after meals so as to enhance digestion rather than interfere with it ............... if you drink fluids during your meals it will only serve to dilute your digestive juices and hinder digestion ♥ also, try to cut back on drinks such as coffee, tea, alcohol, sodas and soft drinks (if you drink any of them) which will all do great job of dehydrating you. ie: just 1 can of soda or soft drink will make your body peesh out up to 12 cups of water !!! 1 cup of coffee will make your body peesh out about 2 cups of water ........... read the book by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.... "Your body's many cries for water"...... an astounding and scary and very true read. Some of the symptoms of dehydration are puffy bags under your eyes, dark circles under your eyes, headaches and migraines and constipation and bloating and cramping and foggy thinking, nausea and even constant yawning..... :0) hope this helps a bit cheers ♥
For the last week, I have had severe bloating, churning and pains on the right side of my stomach. What could I have that would result in having these symptoms for 7 days?
You need to see a doctor immediately. Go to the ER or Casualty Department of a hospital. That’s justified since this sure sounds like an emergency, whatever the cause turns out to be.Go and see a doctor right now. And let’s hope it’s not already too late.In case the question changes, the one I answered was: “For the last week, I have had severe bloating, churning and pains on the right side of my stomach. What could I have that would result in having these symptoms for 7 days?”
