Do I have a Peptic ulcer?

I'm currently suffering with a perforated ear drum caused by an infection. Last night it was causing me extreme pain so I took a diclofenac. I also took paracetamol and ibuprofen in 4 hour staggered intervals for much of the day and the whole night. This morning I have woken up with a burning pain in the upper middle portion of my stomach that is somewhat relieved whilst sitting. I understand that NSAIDs can cause peptic ulcers, especially when taken on an empty stomach (as 5 of those I took were). Could I have a peptic ulcer from 1 day of using NSAIDs? If so, How likely is it? The other causes could be side effects of the antibiotics or painkillers (co-codamol) I'm on, although I have only taken one dose of each so far. Perhaps I have overdosed accidentally? Or perhaps it's unrelated to the medication. Anyway, I will happily call out a GP but I have been to see him 3 times this week as my ear pain worsened and feel a bit embarrassed seeing him again if I could have waited. Thank you for help
