What Could Cause Bad Stomach Pain?

I have bad stomach pain, bloating and it is distended. I recently had to go to ER for chest pain , doctor said it sounded like a bad case of acid reflux ( after EKG was done first.) He prescribed Previcaid and I've been on it for about 3 weeks. I woke up this morning 1:30 am with nausea and stomach pain. It lasted foe hours and I finally feel back to sleep off and on. Breakfast was HF oatmeal with 1/2 cup friut( bb & strawberries) . Stomach has become bloated and tight since then. I never had problems like this before and all of a sudden I start having indegestion problems even if I eat small servings. I also stay away from unhealthy foods about 85 % of the time, don't smoke and rarely drink. Whats up?
