Hello
Welcome in HCM
I can understand your concern.

According to the history you have a chronic bronchitis,probably an exacerbation of COPD and you were treated for that condition.
Sometime steroids and antibiotics can give stomach disturbation in some patients and in others not.
For this you can do an abdominal ultrasound for excluding any other problems with the gastrointestinal system.
It it will be negative for the symptoms you can use some antiacids like Omeprasol twice per day,be careful with the foods ,a lot of liquids,no stress and no smoking.
Stress is one of the factors that might cause stomach discomfort too.
So take care.
