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.
