For the past day or so I've had this dull feeling of pressure in my upper stomach. It doesn't hurt, but sometimes it feels hot. I've had this feeling before in the past. I'm so scared it might be an ulcer because ulcers can bleed and make people v black blood. That happened to my dad several months before he died. I'm real picky about what I eat and drink. I don't like plain water. I know I drink too much soda. I hope soda doesn't cause ulcers. I drink two to four cans a day. I hope that's not so bad. I took some Pepto earlier this evening and felt a little better, but now I have the pressure feeling again. Maybe it's because of sinus drainage. I've felt drainage, but I haven't had a cold. I hope I hear from somebody soon. It's lonely and scary to be worried at night when everyone else is asleep.
