Should I Seek Medical Attention As I Am Having Intermittent Shooting Pain On My Abdomen?

I've been having intermittent shooting pain on the left side of my mid abdomen for the past three days and I've been on more than 2500mg of Advil on average daily to control my pain , and I also have occasional pain below my sternum. Should I seek medical attention or should I wait a while longer?
