Do I have an ulcer????

Hi guys! PLEASE help me with this medical dilemma. For the past 1.5 weeks, I have experienced really uncomfortable bloating. As in, my stomach is distended. My weight is relatively stable. However, I have a complete loss of appetite, as I always feels. For instance, in the beginning, I took a sip of water and felt like I had eaten a whole Thanksgiving meal...now, my stomach has finally began grumbling in the mornings so I eat more now, but usually feel full one meal a day. Bloating has been a teeny bit better, not constipated, and have been burping. This is not water retention, pregnancy, or PMS. However, I recently discovered through WebMD what a stomach ulcer is. I have been taking an excessive amount of Ibuprofen, as in like 7-8 popping them everyday/everyother day earlier this month when I would be sore. This is super bad, but is this the source of my discomfort? And if it is, what steps should I take. This is causing me sooooo much stress, please any responses would be highly appreciated! I had this checked out and it was thought to be nothing to worry about, however, feeling bloated and full all the time is definetely not fun.
