They ran a full blood workup and did an ultrasound, all my results came back with no problems, other than my cholesterol is a little high but nothing to really worry about my dr said.

I was pretty convinced that I had gallstones because these seem like classic symptoms but I am also a thin male, which my dr said doesn't really fit that bill.

So he's perscribed me some perscription based and acid, he thinks it could either be acid reflux or a small ulcer. Anyway just thought I would share the good news that nothing is really wrong, when they did the ultrasound I saw a bunch of big ass black spots and was sure they were cancer or something!
The black spots could be scaring from the acid or you could be bleeding. If it's an ulcer, I've heard that ulcers are caused by bacteria, and are therefore treatable with antibiotics. It sounds like it could be hypertension.
