Off And On Pain In The Upper Right Area Of Stomach
For the past few years, off and on I have had this pain in the upper right area of my stomach that is so incredible that it wakes me during the night for several hours. And like now, the pain is so bad that it feels like my back muscles are hurting. There is no regularity to when this happens other than its always at night time. Anywhere from 1am onwards. And like today, I been awake since 1:30am and now is almost 5. I did vomit a small amount with very little trace of blood that was light in colour. Stool is fine. I have tried antacids to no avail. I do get headaches and been an avid user of liguid gel advil. I am a non smoker and I do not drink. No family history of ulcers. The only regularity is that it always happens during the night. And lasts generally for about 3 to 4 hours.
