Private ultrasound for constant stomach pain

I am looking for some reassurance really as I have never felt like this before.

about 6 weeks ago I began to suffer with acid reflux and then I got pains in my stomach after I had eaten. I had a blood test which came back clear. I continued to get pains so spoke with doc again and I did a stool sample...this also came back clear no infections. The pain in my stomach is now constant regardless of whether I have eaten or not. My appetite is not what it was which has caused me to lose weight. 
I have spoke to my doc again who didn't really sound interested but said he would refer me for an urgent ultrasound. It's got to a point now where I need answers so I've booked to go private next Friday. 
I am sick with worry as I have a young family. 
 

has anyone experienced the same and all had been ok? 
 

I really am thinking the worst and it feels so horrible that I'm not sleeping and can't concentrate at work anymore. I've become so miserable.

    This sounds like exactly the same symptoms i had with gallstones.  They did the ultrasound, found that my gallbladder was inflamed and whipped it out.  The pain was absolutely agonising, at one point I got an ambulance as I was convinced I was having a heart attack.

    I hope you get answers quickly.

    Hi Jsi789

    I had stomach pains for few months I sometimes thought im having a heart attack, wrnt to A&E they tested for heart attack few times ,.. complainet again and again and dr gave me lansoprazole , and then Omeprazole, for 3 mths , and in the end ive done the camera up ( endoscopy) you know what, It was very clean results , I went thru all that and basecally I even had no gastritis no nothing , a very healthy upper GI track 

    dr presribed me low dose of amitriptilyne 10 mg lowest dose , for brain - gut ,I was sooooo sad so scared , the stress and panic caused all , I wish you all the best and I hope you relax a bit

    Thank you both for your replies. I can't believe how worrying it all is. It's just constant 24/7. I hope I get the same answers as you both and it's something easily solved

    I just cut it short because its a horrid long story , I went thru hell I was convinced 100% for the worst, to that level I lost alot of weight , and thought thats it , all symptoms was against me , 
    I cried everyday , I felt miserable , I felt guilty everymoment , because im a mother and a wife , felt like im hurting them , now I feel like bigest idiot because I let my brain travel in that horrid place, I couldnt eat sometimes 

    I even scared the dr , how I was feeling , is you fear that making u feel like that , Im sure you will be fine , because my symptoms was 100 times worst than yourse and for much longer

    And my stomach wasnt just healthy but very healthy dr reported X
