Should I call my doctor? What do I do?

[Jane485]

I am experiencing some troubling symptoms and am unsure if I should call my doctor.  For the past week or so, I have had a headache ranging from mild to severe (unable to concentrate because of pain).  Along with the headache, I am dizzy, disoriented, confused, and feel really heavy.  I've also been extremely bloated and nauseous.  I have also has lower back and joint pain ranging from sharp to a dull ache.  Last night, I had a sharp pain in my lower right stomach that worsened when I moved, but was able to sleep just fine.  This morning, I had diarrhea, completely liquid.  The symptoms seemed to start directly after I increased my water intake.  I have no history of migraines.  Am am a 17 year old female.

Hello~I am sorry you are having these issues. Does your tummy hurt when you press on it? The appendix is located on the right side, and, if it is inflamed or getting ready to burst, you can have the symptoms you mentioned. I suggest you see your physician as soon as possible. Another thing it might be is a form of gastritis, again, a visit to the doctor is warranted.

I don't want to get too personal, but, is there any possibly that you could be pregna
