I have been having bad stomach cramps for about two months now?

I have been having bad stomach cramps for about two months now, with an overall lack of energy and constipation. I’ve also noticed lately I’ve had a lack of phlegm production as well. I’ve always produced a lot of phlegm my whole life, constantly clearing my throat. I assumed this was the result of an Ulcer.

I have been under a lot of stress the last few years and have been dealing with a Heart Burn since then. But OTC Medications have alleviated that. I’ve been healthy my whole life, no problems at all.
