Should I Go To ER As I Am Having Severe Abdominal Pain?

I have bad abdominal pain since after breakfast. I had a piece of toast with peanut butter and half a banana. The pain is located throughout the whole stomach area and felt through the back. It is a cramping pain and moving is difficult. Should I go to emergency? Thanks for your advice.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This pain is most likely caused by gallstones. The pain is present in the upper right abdomen and radiates to the back. Nausea and vomiting can be present. If the pain is not getting better you should visit ER. If the stone will stuck in the gallbladder can cause its inflammation.
Abdominal ultrasound and blood work should be done. In case of stones surgery needs to be done (can be scheduled if the symptoms will go away after drips).

Hope this will help.
Regards.
