From what you described you are unlikely to have a frank perforation. However a week with pain is long enough to see medical care. If you do not have access to a doctor, go to the ER of the nearest hospital. Wish you good health!

Perforated ulcer usually produces dramatic mid upper abdominal pain with associated tenderness. Your symptoms are more characteristic of gall bladder pathology. Do you have a family history of gall stones? An upper abdominal ultrasound will visualize the gall bladder, stomach and pancreas.
