Stomach pain

I have a dull but uncomfortable ache in the centre of my stomach just under my ribs. Ive had it for a couple of days, it hurts to eat and drink. It feels like I've eaten something and its still there. If I push on the area it makes me feel sick and it hurts to burp and when I take a deep breath. I'm fine apart from that and don't feel particularly unwell but its really uncomfortable. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be? I will obviously go to the Docs if it continues.

Indigestion? Have you tried any over-the-counter remedies?

Pain increased so ended up in A and E. it's the weekend here so no doctors open. I have an appt with gastro Doc in morning and A & E doc has said I need an endoscopy urgently. He thinks its a peptic ulcer probably related to my Pernicious Anaemia. Can you have indigestion for days on end?

Crikey, sorry to hear that! You didn't mention anaemia in the OP and I would never have guessed peptic ulcer. Fingers crossed it all goes OK in the morning.
