Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to a stomach ulcer or gastritis which is an inflammation of the stomach lining.
It can be triggered by anxiety which increase the acidity production.
I suggest to use a gastro protector such as Omeprazole 20 mg daily in the morning before brekfast.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
