bloating & pain - please someone help

20yo male here, been dieting for 4 months, no big diet changes at all, no new foods or food groups, or anything

but this is the fourth day i've had this problem, it's just peaked to the point where i can't sleep at all, it's 4.41, i'm so tired, but i'm in so much discomfort and pain i can't sleep

basically, i'm really bloated, it gets worse when i eat, instantly, but it remains constantly bloated, and i can feel it's bloated because my belly just goes round and hard and i can feel the difference between my normal tummy and the hard area underneath it

it's very sore too, as if i've done far too many sit ups, mainly around the top of my stomach but occasionally i get really deep pains around the lower inner part

i don't feel particularly particularly gassy, just sometimes i get a bit burpy, but i really can't tell what it is

i'm really worried, especially because i start university soon and i don't want to mess it up because of these weird problems i'm having

i'm going to a doctor soon, or if it gets worse, but please someone point me in the right direction

sorry to be talking so long

thanks

If you are in so much pain that you cannot sleep, I think it's time to go see a doctor. 

Could be a bowel obstruction or possibly an appendicitis. You should go to the doc today.

i had this happen after being on a pretty extreme diet for a couple months.. but i also had pain in my lower back(felt muscular like you describe ur ab pain).. i went to the GI doctor got a tube down my throat.. they told me my stomach lining was inflamed due to not eating enough.. basically causing the stomach acid to irritate the lining.. it was extremely painful.. and i couldnt go to the bathroom.. i had all the same symptoms as you.. no sleep VERY bloated feeling.. and muchhh worst after eating to the point it would make me not want to even attempt to eat...

although the anti acids did not help me.. i started eating again and a normal amount and the problem eventually faded.

not saying this is def it... but it sounds just like my problem.. i hope you get well.. this prob sucks!!!!!!

good luck hope this helps :/
