What is going on :(

So a bit of back story here: I'm 20 years old and generally in good health. 

For the past few months I've been suffering from abdominal pain (mostly under right ribcage) irregular bowel habits, Bloating, etc. Finally got a colonoscopy and endoscopy the other day, colon turned up completely fine, endo came back with slight inflammation and hiatus hernia which I was told not to really worry about. 

Decided to go out on the weekend as a kind of celebration and things got a bit out of hand, ending up in me drinking a ridiculously large amount of alcohol. I then spent the next TWO days throwing up all food /water I was attempting to have and just feeling completely awful. I had bad abdo pains in the same under the rib spot but it seemed to go through to my back as well. Especially when I touched a certain rib in my back it would cause a pain in my back. 

On the second day of the throwing up I decided to go A&E as I was pretty worried I had done some serious damage and Google was shaking me up a bit.  I was given a blood test, not sure what they were even checking for, and urine test which apparently came back fine. 

Day three is today and I do feel quite a bit better: not throwing up anymore but still feeling quite nautius and generally under the weather. I noticed that I'm not really getting much of an urge to urinate which is worrying me, headaches on and off and still a slight pain in the same spots. I have drunk a lot of water today and ate decently throughout the day. 

Am I just being really paranoid here or could I have done some real damage? I would love to hear that this is just a ridiculous hangover due to the amount I drunk and that the tests at A&E would have shown up anything bad? Some reassurance would be so nice as I can't really go back to the doctor just yet. Thanks a lot in advance!

    ok, so youve been suffering from abdominal pain for months yet have been out drinking every weekend, then you get told you have a hernia and go on a bender?? seriously!!??

    the puking = hangover. alcohol irritates your stomach, so if youre trying to eat you will just puke it back up. not peeing is dehydration, as is pins and needles. buy some dioralyte to replace electrolytes.

    if you go on a bender evry weekend your body is probably rebelling, hence the pains. if you'd done any damage your bloods would have showed it.

    how bout trying not drinking
