Paula, for years Ive had a number of similar symptoms that would appear anywhere from a few days to weeks apart.
Severe stomach pain - felt like gas but unresponsive goes away suddenly after 5 - 30 minutes.
Queasy stomach leading to violent attempts to vomit - goes away after just a teaspoon of contents released usually at night.
After having had these attacks for years with no diagnosis or satisfactory treatment I had an attack of right side stomach pain that was orders of magnitude worse than any I had ever had and lasting a long weekend. After 2 days at emergency with no relief one doctor finally got it right.
As Lee suggested ---------- GALLBLADDER -------. Turns out I had gallstones and subsequent infection and was treated with muscle relaxent and antibiotics without surgery as it was a first attack.
Result - no pains and stomach upsets for 2 years now.
take care ,,, ken
