What Causes Stomach Pain?

I have had stomach pain in the upper addomen (off and on) for about 2 weeks now. I also have semi loose stool. My energy level has dropped and feel better when I nap a couple times during the day. I took my first tablet of Prilosec OTC this morning. This afternoon, part of my scalp were sensitive to touch. I had an ultrasound...nothing turned up...blood test showed nothing except elevated sugar level (separate issue). Any ideas what is plaguing me?
