Nauseous 24+ hours after failed colonoscopy

Hi,

I failed my colonoscopy due to intense pain and have to reschedule with sedation. It was at 1pm, it is now 8pm the following day

Since then I've had a slightly sharp pain in both my lower right abdomen and my left abdomen and I have been very nauseous. I'm not sure if this is caused by the colonoscopy or the prep since it was intense on my already battered and sensitive stomach (I've been on so many different meds for my stomach in the last 2 months)

Just wondering if this is common? I am not sure if this is something that warrants a doctors appt or is just a common side effect. Stools are still very very wet, so the preps effects are still there. Sorry for so many questions recently, I don't have anyone else to ask about this.
