General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I would advise her to have a check of her stomach. A gastroesophageal endoscopy may be needed to rule out gastritis, peptic ulcer disease or tumors.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
