Different Possibilities

2 days ago, i suddenly experienced a severe stomach ache and was taken to our local clinic. A drug was injected on me and i think it was "Buscopan", the doctor said that it would help alleviate the aches that I am feeling at that time. The pain became tolerable for only 5 mins and then it went back again in full. I was at a loss on what to do, because the pain was too extreme for me (enough to make me pass out).

After a while, my family thought it best that i was taken to the hospital. On the way to the hospital my stomach ache gradually lessened for it to become tolerable. I was thankful because i didn't know how i would have remained conscious if that didn't happen. The doctors took turns in checking and feeling my stomach. I was referred to different specialists and was even shocked when the doctors from "Surgery" came in. They asked me a few questions and i answered them all to the best of my ability. One of the questions that made an impact on me is the rating of the pain. If i remember correctly the doctor asked me to rate it from 1-10 and 10 being the highest. The answer was easy, it was 10.

Like i said, i had never felt that kind of stomach pain before. It was like my stomach is going to burst like a balloon. It was very different from the time that i had my "Amoebiasis" so i knew that this and that was different. With Amoebiasis you puke and poop and all your liquids just tend to get out of your body. Well, not that i want to experience something like that again but knowing the difference can help you get a clearer picture of what is happening to you.

After much deliberation the doctor told me that i might get admitted because the result of my blood tests, has shown that i have some kind of blood infection. They were not able to pinpoint what is causing the infection because their questions and my answers don't match up. I think that they have a hunch on what kind of problem i am facing but my symptoms and current state doesn't add up at all.

Seriously, i felt that the real problem was "Hyper acidity" because for the past few days my stomach felt sour. It was as if there was an acid build up and all it was waiting was the right moment to trigger. Now that i have finally settled down and tried to think of other "ailments" that might be responsible for what i am feeling right now, I came up with another problematic disease and that is "Dengue". I disease that has killed many people and are transmitted by mosquitoes. I can finally understand why the doctors are puzzled because I didn't have any fevers prior to my stomach ache. Ironically, After i went back from the hospital i felt feverish. Even now as i am writing this post, i feel dizzy.

It might be feeling this way because i am thinking too much, but then again I can't rule out that possibility. I will monitor myself for one more day and if my symptoms still persists, i think i need to visit the doctors once again. Seriously, one can never be too prepared when something unexpected happens.

Be safe and till next time ...
