Brief Answer:
Probably gastritis. Try omeprazole!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to heart about this pain. Tis raises suspicion of gastritis. I will suggest you take 20mg of omeprazole daily. If this relieves the pain, then the diagnosis is confirmed. If it doesn’t, we may have to so an upper endoscopy to look into the stomach.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be. I will also appreciate updates on how you respond to this treatment.
