Desperate for some helpful words

Hello, well I've been experiencing some really severe and some times frightening pain on the right mid section of my body. Right behind or maybe under the rib cage. It seems to be worse at night and when I'm nervous or under stress.

I've gone to see a doctor and he said it could be an ulcer and is sending me for some x-rays and a ultra sound. I'm fairly sure that it is a digestive problem, because I have constant acid reflux, heartburn and bloating. I've been chugging water and popping rolaids like they're running out stock to but it only seems to help for a little while.

My question is there anything I should do while I wait for the tests and the results or should I find out what it is first? Tweet
