Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

You could be suffering from gastritis , gastro-esophageal reflux disease or peptic ulcer disease.
The continuous fatigue , loss of apetite , feeling cold could also be due to thyroid dysfunction.
It is difficult to make a pin point diagnosis without actually examining you. You may need an upper GI endoscopy and a colonoscopy to help the diagnosis part.

I would suggest you to
-     Drink loads of water
-     Avoid oily,spicy food
-     Have a diet rich in fibres
-     I would start tablet Pantoprazole . Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage
- Get a blood haemoglobin , total count , ESR ,TSH done - to look at the amount of blood loss.


I would also suggest you to visit a physician . He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Hope this helps.
Write back to us.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
