What Causes Sharp Abdominal Pain , Nausea And Vomiting?

Hello, I m a 21 year old female with no existing health conditions. I noticed my stool has recently turned black. I ve had constant nausea the past 3 days accompanied by occasional sharp abdominal pain. Vomiting occurred once on the first day. I ve had migrating headaches the past few days as well, but mostly near the back of my neck.

Hello
I share your concern
Black colored stool is a matter of concern which might be related to Bleeding from gastrointestinal tract.

I would advise you for a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin, CBC, Liver function test or coagulation profile with stool test for occult blood.

In my opinion you should take pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drugs with antacids for 2 to 3 days
You should take plenty of fluids, fruits and vegetables
If it doesn't improve than you should consult a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and further evaluation to establish a diagnosis.

Hope this answers your question, please feel free to ask for follow up question I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
