Depends: If this is a one time episode i would recommend tums, pepto, alka selzer or zantac (ranitidine). If this is more chronic then you likely need to see someone. It could be ulcer or gallbladder or some other gastric problem.

Find out why : There are many things that cause discomfort but more info is needed. When do you get pain? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Anything make it worse? Does food affect the pain? Have you had any surgery ? How long has it been there? Have you tried any medications? Did they work? Did you injure yourself? Pulled muscle etc? Has anyone done any studies? Need a bit more.
