I was just examined today by a N.P for pelvic pain. It is sharp and on both sides. I also have lower back pain and just started to feel nausea and dizzy. No fever. Also started to urinate more frequently the past few hours. I started antibiotics today for 7 days but I'm feeling very strange. I have pain in my vaginal area inside. feels like someone tore me apart down there. The N.P said my white blood cells were high and wants me to get some blood work done. I'm really freaked by it all. Should I go to the hospital for this or cto see the doctor again next week? It doesn't help that I have anxiety disorders so I'm freaked out. Please help.

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
The cause for the symptoms that you describe could suggest chances of vaginal infection, cervical problems, etc. A thorough examination done along with vaginal swab/smear test will help to look for causative agent. You should consider visiting your doctor/gynecologist at the earliest for further evaluation and assistance. Few of your symptoms could be attributed to chances of pregnancy (if you have been sexually active without being on any regular birth control measures). However, if pregnancy is suspected, you should consider visiting your doctor/gynecologist for thorough examination (to confirm pregnancy related changes/signs in body) and blood/serum HCG level test (to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately).
Take care.
