Brief Answer:
Possible gastritis, ulcer, GERD,GI specialist to consult
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in. The pain and gambling you are feeling are signs of stomach issues including gastritis/ulcer and/or acid reflux.
Further examinations are recommended to determine the final diagnosis :
- upper endoscopy
- further consultation with GI specialist
For the moment, I advise to :
- eat often and small portions
- do not lay down immediately after eating
- have your dinnner at least four hours before going to bed
- avoid spicy, chilli, oily, fried, citrus foods
- take OTC antacids, antispasmodics, and PPIs to get relief
Hope it was of help!

Also doctor for the last two days I've been shivering when I'm exposed to the cold for a little while my feet get cold then I shiver I looked at my symptoms and I think its anemia can it be anemia? Please advise thanks I have gastritis and I thought I can take iron pills since low iron usually causes it
Brief Answer:
Could be anemia related, complete blood count advised
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for following up queries.
Shivering when exposed to cold is normal reaction. What's not normal is getting an unusual cold or feeling your feet unusually cold.
It is true that stomach issues like gastritis are often associated with anemia problems.
If I was your caring doctor would advise to run a complete blood count and ferritin level.
Depending on the results and if anemia is present, anemia medications are advised including folic acid, iron, vit.c and b.
Hope it was of help!
