Sick of feeling sick.

Im not really sure what section to put this in so if it does not get much response I will try again in a few days.

The last month or so has really sucked. Ive had a stomach ache for about a month now. Started out with a sinus infection, ears blocked, stuffy head, sore throat, slight cough and stomach ache.

The stomach ache is above the belly button and just below the rib cage center. It is pretty constant 24/7 and had gotten pretty bad for a couple days last week where I was vomiting.

No more throwing up but it's still pretty much the same. I had blood work done last week but no reply on that yet. Doc gave me some ulcer meds to see if they help. I have been trying tums and other antacids, anti gas ect. Plenty of gas/burping more than usual.

I dont think it's an ulcer because GF has pretty much the same thing except it has not gotten as bad as mine. It's not a diet issue either, we eat good. Any ideas what to look for?

Getting sick of feeling sick.

anything in your diet change lately? are you guys on well water, or muni? any pets? how are they holding up? or are they distressed as well?

walmart has a good acid reducer. been using it off and on for years.

A little of all the above. Diet has changed due to new cook in the house but it's healthier if anything and nothing spicy or strange. Well water? Sort of, I think our water is a mix of city and private community well but it's constantly monitored and reports sent out if anything strange. I dont drink unfiltered tap water either but maybe time to change the filters.
Pets, not really but yes we have had a few new critters around due to my daughter, small dog, ferret, rats and??? but none are perminant thank god and all outside, not in the house except for short times off and on.... KIDs..
Stress, yeah there has been some of that also lately. Normally I handle stress or have handled it good over the years and I still think I do but I have also considered that it may be catching up with me.

Yeah I have been considering, watching, treating all the above. I just started the anti gas from walmart and it does seem to help a little. I will continue with the above list as well as getting my doctor to run more test but this is annoying. I don't want to go weeks more feeling like crap, it's killing my work outs and they have been suffering enough the last few months due to like even when I wasnt sick. lol

Any other ideas/suggestions appreciated.

Update,
Stomach is MUCH better last few days. Im not sure if it was just a long lasting flu or if the ulcer meds have been helping. (OMEPRAZOLE 20MG)
Just to be safe I also changed out my water filters. I have a filter on the refrigerator Ice/Water and on drinking water faucet in the kitchen. I use a 5000g/6 yr water filters but I change them out about ever 2+ years just to be safe.

I also just got my Extra Virgin Pine Nut oil (taste like cooking oil) and going to try taking that a couple times a day. It's supposed to help with ulcers and any stomach issues/disease but the only problem is it also makes you feel full so I have to remind myself to EAT...
