Excess Pressure In Abdomen. Having GERD And Weight Problems. Pelvic Examination Done. Taking Armour Plus And Baby Aspirin

Hi I have been having pressure/drawing in the upper lefthand side of my abdomen for several weeks. Excess gas aggravates the pressure, also stomach exercises. Stools have been narrow for some years, regularly passing 2 to 3 times a day. Right now the pressure is up by the top of the pelvis, to the left of center. GERDS is a problem as is weight. Had my yearly pelvic exam with a blood ocalt (sp) test in September as well as GP exams with blood tests. My GP is in another state from where I am currently. I can't feel anything in the abdominal fat pad, though it is large enough to be a strain. I am taking a 90mmg of armour plus 2 baby aspirin a day. Though significantly overweight I am generally in above average health for 66 years.
