How can I get rid of this painful sour stomach/pit from a stomach ulcer? ?

I’ve had a stomach ulcer for about a week. I just started taking Omeprazole and Pepcid to help get rid of it. The worst part is I have this constant painful sour stomach feeling. It feels like I’m really anxious but it’s painful. And every time there’s a jump scare or if my stomach drops, it’s really painful. I’ve been drinking chamomile tea because I’ve heard that helps. Is there any other ways to help with this pain?

    Were you diagnosed by a Doctor? Stomach ulcers can take weeks to heal.

    You need a diagnosis by a Doctor's LAB.

    When OTC medications do not work, you may have something other than your self-diagnosed disease.

    Ulcers are BELIEVED to be caused by a Bacterial Infection.

    The OTC drug you are taking only reduces the Acid production in the stomach.  While they may alleviate the symptom, you need a prescription medication,  You may have a cancer requiring another form of treatment..
