I am going thru the samething. Made an appointment with a gastroenteroly dr. Went to my regular md yesterday. Said I could have ulcer, gallbladder or liver He poked all over my tummy until I felt some pain. I would suggest you get to a dr asap to get it checked out If you cannot get to one go to your nearest hospital er.

tested for an ulcer, and had my gallbladder removed back in 2007 (nightmare)
I am just afraid they wont find anything.
