Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

I think that your symptoms are caused by an acute gastritis. Another possibility is peptic ulcer.

To determine the exact diagnosis you need an abdominal ultrasound, fibrogastroendoscopy, liver function test, complete blood count and urine test.

I recommend you to go to Emergency Room. Consult your gastroenterologist.

Wish you good health.
Dr. Behar.
