hello and thank you for asking HCM,
I understand your concern. My suggestion is to go as soon as possible to emergency room, because regarding to your symptoms you could have incarcerated hernia, which could lead to a dangerous condition of obstructed bowles. This is a first grade emergency, so I hope you will listen to my advice and go immediately to the enarest ER.
Until than try to avoid taking analgetics or any other medication and try not to eat.
I hope this answer was helpful to you.
