Suggest Treatment For Boating And Abdominal Pain

hi, I am a 42 year old female. I have asthma, which is controlled and i am going thought some type of anxiety. I also have stomach issues such as bloating and acid re-flux. About a day ago after dinner i fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night bloated and a severe pain on both sides right below my ribs and sometimes it feels on the back as well. I though it was gas and constipation so i took gas X, but pain still there. In the afternoon i tool 3 generic dulcolax, it help go to the bathroom but the pain still there. What can i take to get rid of this gas pain?
