I need help - severely underweight and pain for the past week, getting worse

Posted , 2 users are following.

i need some help, I've been seriously underweight for a couple of years now (37-39kg to be exact - if not less now), however i was still eating the bare minimum. The past few months ive had hardky anything at all (at one point a couple lf weeks ago i went 7 full days without eating or drinking anything at all - and i think thats where the issues (mainly) started. For the past week ive had intense pain in my right upper abdomen radiating into the back, as well as lower abdominal pain and flank pain (both sides). Two doctors have urged me to go to hospital but I was scared. I was also drinking alcohol heavily during these starvation periods. The reason i guess im asking this question finally is that all day today ive had chest pain, heartburn and pain mainly in my right arm/shoulder, and its concerning me because i feel i need to go to hospital but im scared. The past few days I also feel like im "losing my mind", as in i cant think, rarely havent been able to recognise things etc. I have tried to start eating slowly again but i cant because it just hurts too much and causes 'tearing' feeling in my back.Ive been fatigued the past week, havent been able to do my normal ctivities and have just felt like im dying. Its midnight, there are no doctors right now, can i hold out until morning to get to a doctor? Or is this a hospital thing?

Thanks
