Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of consuming lobster and have now stomach pain, flipping in the stomach and massive headache.
This indicates food poisoning.
I would advise you the following:
Rush to ER as this can lead to an emergency dehydration, electrolyte imbalance.
Get stool and blood checked.
Get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment as per the clinical evaluation and the investigation.
You may need an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics.
Maintain hydration.
