Brief Answer:
Dyspepsia

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms are of dyspepsia. It could be due to poor digestion of nutrients or it could be due to malfunctioning of gut. It could also be due to altered normal flora due to some medicine or bacterial overgrowth in gut.

An ultrasound of whole abdomen will help in ruling out any structural problems.

You ca try Gasex and see if it helps. If it does not help then you can try Esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily for 10 days. This will provide relief from symptoms.
Also take probiotics daily like VSL# 3 twice daily.
In case you are constipated take Lactulose syrup 10ml daily before going to bed. It is a laxative.

Please follow up after 10 days.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
