Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your question.
Your symptoms may indicate duodenal ulcer. Pain in the abdomen which usually comes and goes and occurs when you are hungry/ before meals is very typical for duodenal ulcer. It is usually caused by Helicobacter pylori. You should be tested to rule out this bacteria. Successful treatment of H. pylori can help the ulcer to heal.
Treatment for duodenal ulcer begins with a medication like a proton pump inhibitor. Also try to avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and spicy foods.
If your ulcer was caused by H. pylori you will need to take two antibiotics.
Summary: you should make an appointment with your doctor so that he or she will prescribe you treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
