hi.
thank you for posting query at HCM.
i would advice you to have following examinations:
1. liver function test
2. urea breath test
3. if you have observed black stool, then upper GI endoscopy is also recommended
meanwhile, you may take nexium or any OTC proton pump inhibitor to combat the burning symptom
avoid spicy food and decrease salt intake
avoid alcohol ( if alcoholic)
you may post test results here or visit treating physician
wish you good and sound health
regards
Dr Tayyab Malik
