hi
thanks for asking
as you have given a very lucid history you are probably suffering from chronic gastritis..........i would like to suggest some baseline investigations like full blood count,urea breath test,serum amylase and possibly an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) to confirm the diagnosis.........
then you can take
1) antacid syrup
2) cap omeprazole 40 mg for 4weeks
3) tablet itopride 50 mg twice daily
you should consult a gastroentrologist
