Brief Answer:
Need to go to ER asap.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Noted the history and understood the concerns.

Such a severe pain that is not allowing to walk, lay down or even breath properly needs urgent medical attention.

Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Rush to ER asap for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations as follows:
EKG.
X-ray chest and abdomen.
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Relevant tests of stool, blood and urine.

All these will lead to a proper diagnosis and gives plan for management of the patient.

Till then, be nil orally.

Take antispasmodic to relieve pain and take a PPI like Omeprazole if you have.

Regards.

Hi Dr,
It turns out I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. I required emergency surgery and removal of a fallopian tube. Thank you for your help. I am back at home and resting now. Best, XXXX
