Potential Gastritis or Ulcers

I’ve been having a twisting/indigestion feeling in my lower stomach in my belly button area for the past 4 days now. But I had the same issue back in March after I contracted Norovirus. It makes eating and sleeping uncomfortable and difficult. I’ve been to the ER twice now and they have suspicion that I have Gastritis or Stomach Ulcers. I’ve been prescribed Pantaloc for my stomach but they said if it continues I have to get an endoscope to see the issue. I’ve been taking 2 extra strength tylenol every 6 hours for pain but it hasn’t been working. Any advice or suggestions for pain management/relief.

Suspected Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome

Age: 16
Height:5’8/172 cm
Weight: 130 lbs/64 kgs
Gender: Female

I have been using marijuana recreationally for the past 2 years now to make my days less irritating and more enjoyable. I’ve also have used it to grow my appetite and improve my eating habits from recovering from an eating disorder. Though recently, in March I started to have bad abdominal pain especially in the mornings that would only be relieved with vomitting (purging in this case). After a week or 2 the abdominal pain slowly subsided while I was taking Zofran and Omeprazole. After recovering I didn’t think my symptoms had anything to do with my marijuana use so I continued to smoke daily with no issues. Though within the past 3 days I’ve been experiencing the same abdominal pain from before (Like I haven’t eaten in days) even while maintaining a healthy diet. I done some research and found that CHS is normally diagnosed to patients that have been using marijuana long term (10+ years), is it possible for me to have CHS?
