Left side stomach pains

Tori
I woke up with sharp stomach pains in my left side. I tried flipping around and no help. Going to the bathroom did not help. I want to sleep but laying down make its hurt worse. Anyone have this? I just want to sleep and not be in pain. I can't find any article or anything that says to be concerned. I think it may be from bloating. It doesn't feel like period cramps. Help!
