Hi All,
I'm a 25 y/o female and have recently been having a lot of upper abdominal pain for almost two months. After I visited my GP, she gave me omeprazole as she just thought it was acid. I was on the medicine for two weeks and it did nothing! I still have pain in my upper abdomen on both sides of my body.
When I called back to say it hadn't worked, she said she was referring me to see a Gastroenterologist. I'm absolutely terrified! Would they send me to a specialist for just acid? I'm so scared of cancer. I see in the news where people in their 20s are dying of cancer every day and my mom had cancer a few years ago, so I'm absolutely positive that I'll get it too. Please offer some advice on what I can do to calm down until I see the specialist. Thank you!
