Hi Samuel,   not sure what is going on but for the last year I have had stomach issues.   Went to the dr. and he told me to try previcid which I used for a while.   Helped a little.   If I push in where my stomach is located it feels tender.   This last week I was in so much pain I had to lay down for a couple of hours at a time.   Was actually sick to my stomach because of it.  Took a previcid and a gas x  plus 2 tums.   Felt better after a hour but still have a tender stomach.
Hi thanks for your question. Most probably you are suffering from gastritis that is inflammation of the stomach. Gastritis is due to increased acid output and commonest cause for increased acid output is cigarette smoking, excessive tea, coffee and spicy food. Second common cause of gastritis is infection of stomach by a bacterium called as H Pylori. I would suggest you to consult a physician who may be able to perform upper G I endoscopy on you. You may also need ultrasound abdomen to rule out gall stone as cause of stomach pain. You can continue with prevised, and additionally you can take proton pump blocker like pantoprazole. Hope this answers your question.
