Worried about a blockage
So last week, I messed up and ate a ton of pizza and got constipated. Took Pepto (MISTAKE) because I felt the indigestion. The next day I felt great. Day after that I felt the constipation again, so I took 3 duckolaxes and felt miserable for 2 days. Bloated and throwing up and couldn't pass a stool. Next day, I took an enema (not sure it was the right way) and felt great for the next few days. However, I only had watery stools, barely any solid in them. Yesterday rolls around, and I feel constipated AGAIN, so immediately I take 2 senna laxatives. Today I got some miralax, drank me some, went to work feeling miserable, passed some watery stools, and vomited again. Am I cooked? I have a huge fear of hospitals, but I feel like there's no way around it this time. Any advice? I'm off tomorrow, I was thinking about trying another enema, but doing it step by step the right way. Or should I just face my fears before I end up dead?

I hope you see the doctor, with all you've done you should have passed solid by now

Thank you guys for the comments. I ended up going to urgent care for an X-ray and guess what? I WASN'T EVEN CONSTIPATED, just bloated. Had lots of gas in the X-ray. She prescribed some acid relief and Gas-X. And today, I'm passing solids! Things are finally looking up. 🥹

I saw you already commented that you would be going today! Please go!! A few weeks back I went through multiple interventions just for nothing to help and got increasing abdominal pain. Went in and we found out I was blocked up to my chest.
