Hello, I'm a 24 year old female. I'm taking Ortho-tricycline birth control and have been dieting (not crash dieting) to lose weight so I can back down to my healthy weight. I've lost 11 pounds in the past 2 months, so about a pound a week, healthy range I'm told. I try to eat healthy but probably still fail. I eat mainly fruits and veggies, salads, I've taken to drinking smoothies and eating the occasional bagel with cream cheese. My diet isn't anything spectacular. 1300 calories a day + walking 45 minutes a day 3/4 days a week.
Recently i've become rather stressed, I have issues with Anxiety I know that are untreated and I'm pondering working up the courage to go speak to a doctor about it... but today while I was at work I had a strange occurance.
I had a breakdown and ate a Kwik-Trip Glazer donut (roughly 220 calories) that some one offered me since I was so good this passed week. I don't know if that's what caused it, cause all I'd had before was a 90 calorie Yogurt smoothie, a bottle of water and half an apple.
I started having this strange stabbing pain in my upper right side. it was pulsing if I breathed too deep, if I stood up, if I bent over, if I strained... I started getting panicky, which made it worse. I called into a nurses hot line and she told me to keep an eye on it for a few hours and go to the doctor to discuss the posibility of gallbladder issues.
I tried to calm down, gave it about 3 hours, the pain kinda went away (to the point where I could work/concentrate/ not worry about every step I took. I came home and laid down for half an hour, got up and the pain was basically gone.
We had dinner at 9 (we're late people), which for me consisted of Rice, Corn & Broccoli. The pain kind of came back just not nearly as bad or noticeable. Like right now it's gone again. I'm not having any other symptoms. No nausea, no vomiting, no diahrea, no fever, no jaundice of the eyes or skin...
I haven't eaten anything since then as it's bedtime, and I've been afraid to eat actually...
I'm going to the doctors tomorrow, but is it safe to say I probably had gallstones? Or could it be something else? Like a cyst on my ovarie that exploded...? One of my co-workers made mention of that..
I don't know, i'm very nervous.. can some one help?
