Patient's Query

Good day Doctor, I'm experiencing stomach pain for 4 days, on the first day it's only stomach pain then the next day I'm having a flu that my body is feeling exhausted with headache and I've been vomiting, I don't sweat, I don't have the appetite to eat so I only drink milk. I also lose weight. I had a stomach pain without flu last month. Despite my condition I am still working because I don't have a choice. I am a male, aged 28, height is 5'7" and weight 62. I hope you could help me Doctor, Thank you.
