A member asked:

I couldnt sleep all night as i was vomiting and having diarrhea and terrible pain above my ribs in the centre of my chest. what could cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ER evaluation needed: Chest pain in her mid-60's is an emergency, depending on various details. The ER doctor needs to evaluate. The ambulance can provide oxygen and monitoring on the way to the ER. The doctors will rule out heart attack, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), rib pains, etc... If it turns out to be heartburn (acid reflux) or esophageal damage due to vomiting, that can be treated too. Better safe than sorry.
