What on earth is up? Abdominal pain!

I woke up at 5 ish this morning with incredible pain in my abdomen! It's swollen up and hurts so bad. Might be linked with anxiety; except I've had anxiety pains before and this is a lot worse; feels like something crawled up my intestines and died and is swelling up I don't know. So painful! It's really annoying becuase I didn't get much sleep last night and being woken at 5 just makes it worse. I feel like I want to go for a poo some of the time but am heavily constipated. Hmph, this isn't fun. Was thinking of ringing NHSdirect but then I didn't. Please help?

The NHS Direct Self Help Guide may help you in clarifying your symptoms?
You mentioned feeling like you are constipated, well erm, when was the last time you went to the toilet?
if by swelling, you mean you can feel hard lumps, or that you are very bloated, then that's (excuse the graphicness) a build up of matter and gas.
if by swelling you mean your whole belly is swollen and firm, then get to a doctor now.
if you have any other symptoms (fever, vomiting) again, get to a doctor now.
