Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice. I suspect gastroduodenal peptic ulcera. Peptic ulcers include:
Gastric ulcers that occur on the inside of the stomach Duodenal ulcers that occur on the inside of the upper portion of your small intestine (duodenum) Do a fybroscopy to diagnose it.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
