''My stomach hurts what could this be? I have had diarrhea since this morning I do not have food poisoning My stomach hurts in the middle and on the right side I have had diarrhea 8-10 times. If feel nauseous and have a temp of 97.8. I also can't pass gas. Help I feel bad and don't know what it is .''
From experience this sounds as though you MIGHT have apendicitis! Is the pain on the right hand side, quite low down in your stomach? One test the doctor would do, is to gently press (not too hard!) on where the pain is. It should not hurt whilst pressing... but when you release the pressure that is when it will hurt.. it is called rebound pain and is a typical sign of appendicitis. If this happens I would say go straight to your doctor (or as it is Easter and so the doctors' surgery may be closed, phone a 24 hour emergency helpline for information on what to do... or perhaps even go to ER if you feel really unwell and are concerned).
If it is appendicitis then the sooner this is checked out the better as if you leave it too long then the appendix might burst and this will not be at all good as mine did this and I was ill for a long time (can be life threatening if not treated promptly with antibiotics/surgery).
Having said all this, I hope that it isn't appendicitis! (Could also be just a plain old stomach-bug...) If it is a grumbling appendix they may just treat with antibiotics and put you under observation for a few days - but if they do need to operate then the associated surgery is relatively routine, quick and easy these days so no problem really...
To answer this particular question: I would say that doing the physical fitness test would be the last of your worries at the moment! I do not live in America (am from UK) but I would think that if you are truly ill there is some sort of process to defer the test until you are fit and well!!
Good luck : )How can you get out of doing the Physical Fitness Test?ask your doctor or parent to write a note saying your not feeling well
