How Can Indigestion Be Treated?

I am a 76 year old female. I have had indigestion type discomfort for 3 days. It is under my ribs and radiates in my back. This is new for me. It reminds me of a gaul bladder attack, but I do not have a gaul bladder. I am diabetic and concerned it could be heart or liver related. I am overweight but my A1C has never bern over 6.9. Should I call my doctor?
