Why Am I Having Severe Abdominal Pain And Heart Burn?
I woke up at 2am with severe abdominal pain, centered just below my rib cage.
I made myself throw up because that helps when I get really bad heartburn, and now the pain has dulled but is still there. My vomit was heavy and dark and gritty. Should I be concerned? I still can't fall asleep from the pain.

Hi. This can be a serious problem unless proved otherwise by a X-ray -Abdomen in a standing position to rule out perforation, Urgent ultrasonography to rule out pancreatitis, liver abscess, gall bladder inflammation, blood tests relevant to what I noticed.
In short this is a serious problem. Stop taking anything orally, rush to ER / Hospital
