Hi and welcome to HCM,
As your doctor said wait for results of the scope study.
Now you can take aspirin with acetaminophen for pain relief, limit alcohol use, and avoid cigarettes. Continue Pepcid and Antacids to decrease the level of acids in stomach. Healthy fat diet in the form of light meats, fresh vegetables, light meats. Take rice diet. Oprah diet is also a good choice for stomach ulcer.
wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
