Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Your symptoms are quite characteristic for a peptic ulcer in the stomach. You may have a nausea or lack of appetite with the pain.
It is strongly recommended for you to have gastroscopy done. This test is necessary to diagnose the problem and to check if you have a Helicobacter Pylori infection. Depending of the results of this test, antibiotic treatment might be necessary.
In a meanwhile you should avoid any fatty foods, spicy foods, coffee, chocolate and orange juice.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
