What could be wrong with my friend?

) June 29th, 2011

She has severe stomach pain, so bad that it slows down her breathing. She says her throat is cold, like she drank ice water for a full hour. She has excessive appetite one day and then doesn’t feel like eating anything the next.

Yes take her to the ER… or at the least a doctors appointment

WebMD’s symptom checker is a handy tool. It is NOT a replacement for a proper diagnosis.

A 24-hour minor emergency clinic could probably help you with an initial diagnosis and is typically quicker and cheaper than an emergency room at a hospital. Usually you can walk in and be seen relatively quickly, regardless of what you’re there for. A hospital emergency room has to prioritize emergency situations before general care and a typical visit is 4–6 hours.

With or without insurance, the clinic will usually be a fraction of the cost of going to an emergency room as well.

I hope your friend is already getting care, but thought I’d mention it for future reference.
