What should I do in this situation? ?

For about a month now I’ve been having stomach pain from my belly button all the way up to my chest. This pain started after taking a high dose of ibuprofen.I went to the doctor and she prescribed me a higher dose of omeprazole, which I’ve been taking and hasn’t been helping. She told me if by the time I’m done with those pills and I’m not better that I should see a gastroenterologist. She also wants me to get an ultrasound for my gallbladder. Here’s where the problem is. I already booked a gastro appointment for this coming Tuesday. Will the gastro be able to do any tests to look at my gallbladder? Could I just skip the ultrasound? I wouldn’t be able to get an ultrasound before my gastro appointment to rule out any gallbladder problems. My other issue with the ultrasound is that the only place I can go to that covers my insurance is terrible. The reviews say to not go there and the wait times are hours even if you have an appointment. What should I do in this situation?

    That stuff is dangerous to take on a regular basis. Every  side effect is worse than the reason you took it in the first place. I would try a more natural alternative.

    I suggest getting the ultrasound done first. But if you don’t want to go to that place, go to the gastroenterologist and they may give you an ultrasound anyway. They’ll most likely do a gastroscopy.
