Hi Melissa and thanks for bringing your question to EmpowHER.
For the symptoms that you have been experiencing - the stomach pain and nausea - the type of doctor you would want to see is a gastroenterologist.
The physicians focus on health issues impacting the gastrointestinal tract and liver. That includes understanding the normal functions and diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver.
Don't worry about the words you use to describe what you're experiencing - the doctor will know what you mean and will likely have additional questions for you to help you explain it further.
While your self diagnosis may indicate that you have a problem with the stomach muscle, it's possible that there's more going on. You really need to see a professional to get the right diagnosis, which may involved some tests.
Will you do so right away and let us know what you learn and how you're doing?
