Hi, I just recently joined this forum as confused and scared about recent pain I have been having and trying to work out if it maybe IBS after reading some posts from a few years ago. I awoke during the night a few days ago to extreme pain under my breasts, that got worse as time went on, thought it might have been indigestion and took some medication for that, after a while I got even worse, the pain was unbearable, I was sweating so bad and felt so faint. I was taken to hospital where i started to vomit, they took several blood tests which came back clear except white cells were slightly high and blood sugar was 9.2 (I am not a diabetic), my blood pressure was 90/42, after the pain subdued I was sent home with Nexium and a referal for a abodomen CT scan which is not for 2 weeks time. Last night pain happeened again, but this time was in lower part of abdomen and again, lots of sweating and pain and feeling faint and nausea. The only thing that really is different in my diet was 3 weeks ago I started using a natural sweetner called Xylitol, which I am no longer using to see if it makes a difference. Sorry to go on about what is happening, but when these symptoms happen, it really scares me, has anyone else had anything similar?
