In pain

Hey guys
On the quiet ive been drinking heavily for months now, relationship breakdown, other personal issues etc. Im quite a slight person, weighing only 7stone 11lbs.
Yesterday I woke up with really bad pain under the rib cage, right in the middle, its like a drawing pain, which keeps coming and going.
Has anyone had these kinda symptoms before?

Hello Emser , Whatever the pains are that your describing , one thing is sure , somethings wrong! Pain is the body's way of telling us Whoa... Hold on there ! I don't like what your doing!  The relationship thingy has made many fall , it dropped me too , but that doesn't mean you can't get back up! Get Up Off Your Azz Girl , before its to late! I know.......Just a little longer , your mind says .... , but your mind is lying to you and your body speaks the truth!
Stop Now , Or else .... Oh , and I mean to scare you....sometimes that's what it takes !
I didn't listen when I had a Heart Attack , Didn't listen when Doc told me I needed Insulin,
didn't listen , didn't listen , didn't listen ..... Then one night after consuming my usual
obscene amount of liquor , I SCREAMED ALL NIGHT LONG IN PAIN. I didn't think I'd make it through the night , I know pain , I've had it most of my life , but I never want to experience that again and neither do you !! I went to the Doc and told him everything
and you know what ? He didn't shame or judge me , Infact he told me he already knew
and that he knew he would see me again , either as a patient or in the Hospital. He showed compassion and nursed me back to health.
That was 6 months ago , today my kidneys and liver still throb now and then almost as a blessed reminder of my former madness. My sugar levels are normal due to the Insulin working , and the ol' heart still needs watching but its ticking , and Oh Yeah , the chick that I literally FELL FOR , is a distant memory. Don't let some azz hole ruin the beautiful person you are , stand up and take back your life!
      My love and prayers are with you , God bless , Burr P.

hello. please do yourself a favor and consult with a doctor. you may not have a serious problem now, but you could be at risk for any number of things. heavy alcohol intake can both cause problems as well as worsen pre-existing conditions. due to its sedating effects, alcohol can also mask or minimize our perception of pain. i don't mean to frighten you, but i (as have others here) have seen alcohol damage result in death, and it's not pretty. whatever the case, please give yourself a break--there are people here and other places that will be glad to help you. take care--gm

I had the same issue and went to the hospital. It ended up being my gallbladder. The pain comes and goes still to this day, until I get it taken out. Hope this helps:)
