Need help from Doctor/Nurse or anyone else able to help?
Hello, my wife has been having these very bad pains for a a little over a week. Her symptoms are : Headaches, Dizziness, Weak/Tired Fatigued/Epigastric Pains getting worse and spreding to the back and chest and in the ribcage area in general. She is having constant cramps and has a poor appetite.
We went to a Med Express Urgent Care Center and they didn't really do anything besides say Oh it's heartburn/acid indigestion and gave her a prescription of Prilosec (or however it is spelled) and they said it's possible it could be an Ulcer, and to follow up with her PCP.
Well we made an Appt for tomorrow morning as the pains are getting worse. Can anyone lend any advice to us as to what this could be?
She doesn't drink, do drugs, does not smoke. Is under quite a bit of stress though.

Those are non-specific symptoms which could apply to a laundry list of conditions, so no one can say. However, an ulcer or indigestion would be waaay low on my list of suspects; mainly bcuz that has nothing to do with headaches or fatigue and the pain is not constant. She'll need lab work, a full exam & possibly diagnostic tests.
