Yes! You may have internal bleeding or something like that.

Do you have any referred pain in your left shoulder? A lacerated spleen or inflammed one will normally cause pain in the left shoulder

referred pain would be like getting hit somewhere and it makes another part of your body hurt. Spleen injuries tend to have pain in the left shoulder even if the person got hit in the stomach. You definetly need to get it checked out.
