Probably not as you don't swallow whole tape worms. You swallow eggs which grow into tape worms in the hosts' intestines [not the stomach]. Your stomach probably feels funny because you have convinced yourself that you have a tape worm. Parasites cause fatigue, abnormal apatites, and symptoms which mirror anemia, not "funny" feeling stomachs.

I doubt it was a tapeworm. If you are worried about your stomach, go to a doctor to get checked out.

Its no tapeworm, they live in your intestines and could never survive the harsh acids in the stomach, no worries bro ur cool.

See if your parents will take you to see the doctor. You probably do not have one, but you should get reassure from someone who can actually examine you and do the proper testing.
