I think I have a stomach ulcer?!


Question: I'm 13, so it might sound a little weird that I think I have a stomach ulcer. I've been having a sharp pain in the last 2 days that is very on-and-off, but I feel nothing until a few hours after I've eaten, and I have a pain in my upper abdomen that I first thought was heartburn. I've had nausea and have been close to vomiting and I've lost 2 kilos. I suspected a stomach ulcer and researched it on the net, and these are the exact symptoms!

I told my parents straight away, but they don't believe me! Last year I was a hypochondriac, but I overcame it so now they don't believe me. I'm going to a doctor tomorrow but I'm still worried. Apparently they can be caused by stress, and I have had a few anxiety attacks lately. What do I do?!?!?!
