Hi welcome to the health care magic

The history you are giving is suspected towards acute gastritis or acute ulcer condition

So omeprazole Capsule 20 mg daily before one hour of meal given for two week at least

Avoid stress as you have history of anxiety

Avoid gastric irritants like...
-Excess tea, coffee
-Alcohol
-smoking
-Excess spicy foods
-non veg etc

Small meal given with frequent interval...

If you don't improve than empirical antibiotic therapy might needed and USG or endoscopy like further work up necessary
If needed than H. Pylori ruled out by urea breath test

Take care
