Upper left abdominal pain

[NamesAreTaken]

Hello. My name is Katie, i’m a female. I’ve been having trouble with my stomach, it aches and wakes me up in the middle of the night, usually going away after 1-2 hours, sometimes even in the middle of the night. i’ve read threads and threads but all of them have different locations it’s at, and i’m trying to see the most accurate medication i need. I’ve never had a problem with my stomach until I began taking a acne medication that is called “ DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE”. It was very moderate (like the above symptoms) but as of now it felt like a living hell. I was awoken at 1:23AM with a sharp and intense pain in the upper left part. I rolled around for about 15 minutes but no matter what position i was in, it never got any better. I realized soon that i had forgotten to take my medication, so i figuresd that was what caused it. (me going irregularly off schedule.) I took it and nothin happened. I tried to take my mind off of it and played a couple games. About an hour later the pain was still there, and at this point i felt like crying. My mom gave me 2 TUMS, and it felt like it didn’t do anything but taste good. i went in the living room and sat down for a couple seconds until my mouth suddenly began to water and drip out of my mouth. I knew it couldn’t have been saliva because saliva lingers and this just came dripping out like plain water. I also had the sudden urge to throw up while this was happening, and i was hoping i would so i could get this **** out of my system. After a few moments it went away but came back after about 10-15 minutes. It must have been the TUMS because i have no clue what else it could have been. The 3rd time was the last time. I asked my mom for medicine and she gave me a pill for migraines. It was about 3:30 then, and started to dull at around 4. I can still feel it as of right now but i think i can handle it. Also I had sudden urges to defecate during this, and only went about twice, in which both were small and loose, like nothing even came out. The other times i have experienced this it hurt but i have never cried over it. I’m really scared it was the medicine that stopped it because if it is then i know it’s gonna come back. I can feel it lingering there like it’s taunting me. Now it’s 4:40AM and i feel like i’m the only one having these symptoms. I wouldn’t wish this upon anybody but please if you have these symptoms share methods that help you so i can be prepared next time. i’ve only had it about two or three times within 3 months. If you have any information on what this could be, please share. I don’t feel as if there’s really an identifiable cause to this, other than the acne medication. It could also just be a disorder or whatnot and just have good timing. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

Hello~I am sorry you are hurting so badly.

I really think you need to see your GP, your symptoms are very disquieting, they need to be looked into. You also might want to call your pharmacist and ask him/her if this would be due to the Acne medication.

I hope you feel better soon.

I also forgot to add that I was breathing really shallow and didn’t notice until i was reading threads on it, in which i got really scared.
