I am Chat Doctor answering your query. There is no need to get depressed without knowing what you have. This any way is not going to help you in relieving your problems. Therefore, I would advise you to take an appointment with your family physician or a general surgeon in your area or go to the ER of your nearest hospital for a definitive diagnosis after clinical examination and related investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. </s>
