I've Been Feeling A Lot Of Pain Recently In My

default
Posted on Thu, 9 Jul 2020
Question: I've been feeling a lot of pain recently in my stomach. At first, it felt like being pricked by a needle and it'd happen all over my stomach. Then the pain started to last longer and stay in a singular area of my stomach. It's currently in the upper left part of my stomach. At first, I thought it was gas related so I started taking gas x but it didn't help. One other symptom is I'm constipated. Is this something gas related or is it something more serious like an ulcer or worse? If so, what should I do?
