Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Pain may be due to peptic ulcer.
You can take tablet pantoprazole 40 mg half hour before food for six weeks.
You also need few investigations to exclude other causes.
Investigations include routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,Ultrasound of abdomen,Upper GI endoscopy,ECG in all leads.
Further treatment depends upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Take Care

Hello!
To say that you have ulcer is foolish because these diagnose in our times is confirmed with endoscopy..
These symptoms direct me more for gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux or peptic ulcer.
To determine the diagnose you should make to your self some questions.
The pain is localized in the epigastrium?
The pain is burning,hunger or gnawing?
Eating exacerbates(stomach ulcer) or relieves pain(duodenal)?
Is pain that awakens a patient at night(duodenal)?
You should consult with a gastrohepatholog.
Take care for your self.
