Since your pain not relieved with antacid and your pain is severe, it is preferable to take an ultra sound scan of abdomen for the possibility of some serious conditions such as acute pancreatits, amoebic hapatitis and acute cholecystits. Further you also need a thorough physical examination of abdomen to rule out some emergency conditions which may need immediate treatment. Hence kindly attend an emergency physician.
