Failed Sutab

So I didn't really know i was getting a colonoscopy (also getting a scope down my throat )..i have panic attacks have was having one for the past two hours before and on the way to my GI appointment :,)

So im 24 F (trans male but i digress), 99lbs and i cant do the 12pills. I was hardly able to do 2. So i made to 8 and immediately i feel like i hit food poisoning levels. Nothing has passed, im drinking water, and juice excessively, but im gonna throw up, and the whole roome is spinning.

(doctor was called but office is closed. Family is furious that i havent passed anything,nor has had any urges)

Any advice? I personally feel like the amount of pills was way too much or is for some people. I hardly for through 12. Am expected to take 24?!, and im sure theres reasoning behind it ^^; i dont blame any medical professionals for it. It's just a honest opinion.

Edit: I thought i should add i hadn't eaten anything all day. I was at work, only drank water. Immediately went to the GI doctor and drank water all day. I did pass stool the day before.

Update: The surgeries are today. Surgeon was called and informed about my condition and the severity. All we got

told to do is take more despite it all. My family is pissed nothings passed & that im feeling sorry for myself. Yes we were offered miralax, but declined it as i do better taking pills then fluids.

Sudden Chest pain?

Hello community!! So i had a question,I know i should consult in a OP when i get the chance,but those chances are slime to none without harrassing my family or they're genuinely concerned. So i thought id just come along on here.

I ftm (trans masc,24) just today had started to experience some chest pains near my left breast almost near the top (maybe near the middle ish ?) and when i turn or stretch it radiates to the center of my chest. Not for very long. I cant feel the pain when i breathe KINDA. It doesn't disturb me too muc,it is more annoying when i move or touch it. I was doing a lot of back and breathing stretches so i wonder if its just inflamed? As i dont get to exersise much...

edit: As of current the pain is still pretty bas when i turn or sit up in bed. My mother who was informed doesnt read emergency messages ,but was informed.

But i worry for a heart condition,or something else. Certainly with chronic anxiety im just making a lot of my physical pain worse,but has anyone experienced this? Or has any tips? I have a intreview so i wont free time for much rest if i do get this job.

Edit: I wanted to add this that if i breath in VERY deeply my throat does feel a tiny bit tighte and i can feel the pain in my chest still. (family still wont take me to a doctor. Can't drive myself by the way,i am disabled)
