What Causes Pain And Bloating Of Abdomen Along With Vomiting?
Last night when I got home my stomach (right above my belly button in the center) felt really uncomfortable and full, about 6 this morning I woke up with horrible pains in the same spot. The pain increased within a few hour and then I started vomiting. I took a Zantac which helped but not completely. But everyone I ve talked to suggests I go to the hospital and could be a gallbladder issue? Am I just having heartburn or should I be seen?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be gastritis which is inflammation of the stomach. This can be associated with an uncomfortable sensation and vomiting.
You may want to: (1)hold off solid food until vomiting ceases then restart with bland foods
(2)continue zantac
(3)may also want to add a medication from another reflux med family eg prevacid/protonix/nexium
I hope this helps
