I have been having a pain that is right below my breast bone. It is so uncomfortable

that is bothers me all day and night. The pain goes all the way through to my back. I hurts no matter what I eat. The pain was so bad until I was nauseous and not eating, so my dad suggested I take a Prilosec. Within 24 hours the pain started easing. I have taken the Prilosec for about 6 weeks now and recently I tried to get off of them, but the pain was right back again. I have no heartburn or blood in my stool. I am almost 2 years postop and doing great other than this pain. Could it be an ulcer or hernia? If so, what will they do to correct the pain? The nurse think a stricture would still hurt if I was taking the Prilosec. Any opinions? I had a doctor appt. Thursday to talk to him about this.
