What Causes Constant Pain In My Stomach?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have been having pain in my stomach, during the day it is more of a soreness, then once I lay down it gets more severe, like a constant severe burning sensation, sometimes it feels as if my entire stomach is going to burst. NO matter how I lay or where I lay, as soon as I lay down it starts and won't stop. This has been going on for a few weeks now and just keeps getting worse. What could be causing this to happen, the only reason I haven't gone to a doctor yet is because I have no insurance and no money for medical expenses.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
NO insurance is no reason to get at least bare minimum investigations and treatment.
Get an upper GI endoscopy , ultrasonography and few blood tests to see any infection in the intestine or something like Typhoid.
Get a course of an antibiotic, PPI / Ranitidine/ probiotic and metronidazole..
See the results in 5 days , you may be alright .

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having sever gastritis and even peptic ulcer.
You might require endoscopy to come to diagnosis.
Meanwhile take Omeprazole or pentaprazole daily for few weeks.
Avoid stress.
Avoid chillies, fried and junk food.
Take less amount but frequent food.
Ok and take care.
