Question : The night before i was having severe stomach pains I thought it was because of my acidic problems, so i took zantac to relieve my pain. The medication didn't work i started vomiting a lot and the pain would go away for a minute then come back worse. the pain has subsided but when i put a small amount of pressure on the lower right side of my stomach it hurts a lot. I have difficulty sleeping, eating, and im continuously nauseous what could be wrong?

Brief Answer:
Gallbladder issues/ gastritis to rule out...

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read carefully your query and understood your concerns.
Your symptoms seems to be related with:
-gallbladder issues like sludge
- gastritis/ ulcer
- stomach flu
If I were your treating doctor I would reccommend to do
-abdominal ultrasound
-upper endoscopy
Still that you can use antacids, omeprazole and domperidon.
You should avoid fatty , spicy foods.
Wishing you fast recovery.
