I have pain in the upper center right of abdomen. been 4 days. began in bed as a rush of pain, burning and pressure. Been taking tums and it has been making me have light burps. Stool is black and ashy, with wiping you can see a lite hint of dark green with the black. Pain rarely subsides. Feels like you want to puke up the lump of whatever in my stomack but never have yet. Any ideas?
