How to comfort someone in physical pain over text?

I always get so worried when my friends tell me they are in pain, and I keep checking on them every hour. Just text them saying, 'Please don't feel pressured to reply to this, I am just checking in. Let me know if I should order some soup or medicine for you.'

While offering comfort, also keep a close eye on what kind of pain they are describing. If they mention any severe, sudden pain, chest discomfort, or difficulty breathing, please urge them to stop texting and visit a doctor or hospital immediately.

Keep your texts short and practical so they don't have to strain to read or type. Suggest they lie down in a quiet, dark room and ask if they have their regular pain relief medication handy. Assure them you are just a call away if they need anything.

I always feel so helpless over text and worry that my messages might actually annoy them when they are hurting. Does anyone else feel super awkward trying to find the right words to say? I usually just send a heart emoji and tell them to sleep.
