I have had a fluttering (butterflies) in my stomach and kind of like a cramp on the right side...?

Question

below my rib cage but about my hip bone for about 3 days. It started on Saturday. I drank a bit much wine at dinner and then went to bed and woke up with horrid nausea and it grew from there. By the way- I was just on my period about a week ago and I'm on the pill so it's not because I'm pregnant. Could this be signs of an anxiety disorder? I have had panic and anxiety attacks in the past and I am feeling nervous because I just transferred universities, started a new job, and moved 500 miles. Or perhaps the flu? I have no idea, but how do I get rid of it?

Answer 1

It could be appendicitis. Appendicitis usually starts with a pain in the middle of the abdomen by the belly button. The pain slowly moves to the right lower abdomen (toward the right hip) over 24 hours. It can also be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, and fever. Symptoms of appendicitis may take 4-48 hours to develop.

It could very well be gas.  I get really bad gas whenever I'm stressed or nervous.  I don't mean that i burp and pass gas like crazy.  The gas builds up in my intestines and it can really hurt.  Try some kind of gas medication like Gas-X.

Hello,

It sounds to me that you have answered your own question my dear.I would say that if you know that in the past you have suffered from anxiety and you have a ton of things going on right now that would normally cause anxiety then you should go to the doctor and or therapist and get tested /prescribed whatever it was you were taking before.also i know that acupuncture is a good natural treatment for anxiety .Do not drink to much when these panic attacks come along it will be worse for you in morning get checked out and good luck:)
