I'm writing this post on behalf of my girlfriend, for the last three days she's been experiencing on and off severe abdominal cramps - nothing too unusual, but more painful than normal. Just this morning she had to vomit at work and noticed some blood in it. Not much, but some. I have heard that stress can cause a multitude of problems, and pray that this is the case, as she is an extremely stressed individual. The cramps usually occur at night and are gone throughout the day. Though eating too much at night will cause her intense uncomfortable sensations in her stomach and she'll be forced to vomit. She has been drinking coffee more often and has had a cigarette on occasion after having had quit for nearly a year.
She doesn't have insurance at the moment, what i was wondering is whether this should be an issue to take to the emergency room immediately or can a few diet/lifestyle changes sort things out?
