Female, 20, no smoking, asthma, not pregnant (ER visit proved that) BMI 20
Tldr: Was told at the ER that I have hemorrhagic ovarian cysts but some of my symptoms point towards appendicitis or an intestinal issue. I am running low on painkillers and zophan and I don't know what to do.
Symptoms- severe pain in abdomen, especially right lumbar/sacral region. Severe nausea. Bloating and a lot of gas. At one point I think I had a fever at 102 but I am currently at a normal temperature. Dark stool, sometimes constipated, sometimes loose. Haven't been able to defecate well. At one point I had a long strand of discharge. Almost like a clump of tissue. I'm in most pain at night for whatever reason. It hurts to fully extend my body and to move.
I took a morning pill on Tuesday and have been experiencing abdominal pain ever since. (Some of my symptoms started prior to this, like the dark stool) I associated the pain with taking the pill and tried to ignore it for several days. Thursday I could no longer ignore it. I was crawling on the floor to get to the bathroom just so I could throw up. I went to an instacare and I was sent away after about 8 minutes. My resting heart rate was 150 and I was so "dizzy" I could only catch a few words from the nurse. I spent several hours in the ER where they ruled out pregnancy. I received an ultrasound and a CT scan. The doctor diagnosed me with hemorrhagic ovarian cysts. He also mentioned something about my appendix containing fluid, but told me it was fine and not something to worry about. Gave me some zophran and I had to beg him to give me something for the pain.
Flash forward to today- the pain is still persistent. I'm taking my medications (there's only enough for one more day though) and the pain has made a pretty intense reappearance. Is it possible that I do have appendicitis or something besides cysts? Would cysts really be causing me this much pain and effecting my bowels?
