I'm Worried About Losing The Person I Care About Most

I'm worried about my very ill girlfriend (warning, this is a very long read; proceed with caution)

I'm in a long distance relationship with a girl. She's been very ill for a while and I don't know exactly what the cause of it is but she pretty much made her condition worse and worse by over working, having jobs when she didn't even need it financially because she's pretty well off only because she wanted to fill up her time. Understandable right? Well the problem was, even while feeling ill, she kept pushing her limits. Her doctor thinks it's stress and even if it were true, I'm starting to think it's turned into a more sinister culprit. As of late, every time we'd talk, she'd pause, grunt in pain and told me she always felt nauseous. She took my advice and quit her third job that she did not need. This was very gradual by the way. She slowly week by week sounded more and more ill and in pain. She sounds like she has completely lost her voice. Her voice has been sounding very horse as of recently and I've noticed that for the past few days now. I really do hope she pulls thru but I hope the damage isn't beyond repair and that it's too late because she is very stubborn and refused to take heed to the obvious, which was giving her a self a break, especially when she could afford to quit a couple of her jobs financially. She kept pushing thru, maybe because of pride or whatever but it frustrates me that this could've all been avoided. When we first started talking she still got sick but barely proving that it's not her being burnt out that's causing it but it certainly did not make it better, in fact it made her condition a lot worse. Every time she went to her doctor, she continued to wanna run blood batteries despite getting the same result which was low iron. That could be it but what annoyed me the most was them brushing her issue as "stress related" not realizing that stress related illness can manifest into actual illness. She did phone her doctor today and they think it's organ related now. She also had a pattern of not eating much and irregularly. She also frequently slept right after eating which isn't good for the stomach and could explain at least partially why she's always wanting to throw up. I told her to take a nap and despite wanting her not to so we could talk, I could not be that much of a selfish prick and suggested that myself. This was 1:00 p.m my time. There is a five hour difference. So in her time zone, she has slept over 8 hours and is still sleeping. That's a hell of a long time for a nap. She deserves it honestly but my paranoid mind is starting to convince myself that something horrible happened like she's in critical condition in the ER somewhere, hopefully not. She always messages me with a good morning text every morning. She has not missed a single day. If she doesn't tomorrow, that will confirm something terrible has happened.

She's young so that's that in her favor. Hopefully it'll all be ok.
