I started feeling bad yesterday, but today it's gotten even worse. It's somewhat hard to breathe and I have some pain in my stomach and around my diaphragm/lung area. I feel like I need to throw up and my whole back aches and hurts. I also feel really dizzy. I've had headaches but took something for it and it kind of went away. I know I should go to the doctor, but I can't because I have a lab I can't miss tonight. So I was wondering if anyone had any idea what was wrong. Thank you!

It could be so many different things. Anything from something spoiled that you ate, to a hiatal hernia, to the stomach flu, to a heart attack. Although, if it truly was your heart, you'd increasingly have problems breathing and probably would get some pain down your left arm and possibly in the neck. It could also possibly be gallstones. For gallstones, the pain would be more on the right, under the right breast. If the squeezing pain continues and gets worse and your breathing becomes harder, please go to the emergency room. You can control the nausea by buying an over the counter emetic syrup called, "Emetrol". It's some basic sugars but it will stop your nausea for sure. Just don't drink anything 15 before or after a dose, as it shouldn't be diluted. What I don't get is the dizziness, unless the pain is putting pressure on your lungs and you're not getting enough oxygen, that would be one reason. If it is a sliding hiatal hernia (which just means that a bit of your stomach can be caught up in the diaphram), try standing up for about 20 or 25 minutes. The gravity might correct it. Good luck to you. And if it gets worse, please go see a Doctor! Take care.

I think you should go and see the doctor as only he/she will know whats happening with you. Whats more important to you, your lab or your life? Your condition doesnt seem like its something minor.
Better for you if you get off the computer and go see a doctor!
Good Luck!
