Brief Answer:
Acid peptic disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
thanks for your query.
Based on the timing and the site affected by pain, I suspect it to be due to acid peptic disease. It could either be a peptic ulcer or simple gastritis.
Do take antacids for a week or two, this may surely help in getting rid of the pain.
Restrain yourself from consuming oily and spicy foods.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
