Hello! Welcome to HCM.
Pain in epigastric area suggests increased secretion of acid in your stomach.
In my clinic, many such patients do come, to whom after examination of abdomen, I advise ultrasound of abdomen & pelvis, if necessary.
You should avoid hot/spicy food, late night meals, alcohol, smoking. Also, try to reduce stress, if any, with yoga & meditation.
Consult your doctor for medicines like omeprazole, syp. sucralfate & upper GI scopy if needed.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Hope this information is useful for you.
Thanks.
Regards.
