Could Pregnancy Symptoms Be Misdiagnosed As Gastritis?

My last menstrual cycle started on Jan 5th and the one before was on 6th Dec. Its like a 30days gap always. So on 20th Jan (which I think my ovulation happens) I had an intercourse. I have had most of the signs of early pregnancy, cramping, bloating, dizziness, back ache and I starve easily (which is not the case usually) Went to a doctor and he thinks its gastritis, I m worried as I was hoping it could be a pregnancy and I m confused whether to take the medicines given for gastritis. I m closer to my next menses days but a little bit worried over crashed expectations Can a pregnancy be misdiagnosed as gastritis or anything else and I just cant wait till the next week unfortunately Please advise.
