This started about a little over a month ago. I began to lose my appetite and I couldn't eat as much. I had pretty bad heartburn that would burn up to my ear. I've thrown up on two occasions in the morning a very bitter green liquid. The last 2 weeks, the heartburn has mostly gone away and I do have an appetite, but now I have really bad nausea right when I wake up and it lasts the entire day (just not as bad as when I first wake up). I've also had looser stools than normal on some days after this started.
I've had shingles so I don't know if the dull/burning pain on my right side right under my rib cage is from that or something else. Very seldom, when I take a deep breath I will get a sharp pain at a specific spot where I guess my gallbladder/liver would be (the same general area as the dull/burning pain).
I don't normally get headaches, but the last 3 weeks I've gotten them at times, I'd say moderate level again.
I don't know if it's GERD or gallstones since what I've read say gallstones are much more intense pain, mine is very moderate.
I feel hungry, but can't eat because I'm nauseous. I have an appointment on Friday, I'm just wondering what I can/should expect.
I haven't tried antacids, would it be okay to take them?
Thank you.
