Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, I think it is peptic ulcer disease. This may occur in the stomach or first part of small intestines just after the stomach (duodenum). Your symptoms seem to be in favor of a duodenal ulcer. In my opinion, I would suggest you try antacids and a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (Prilosec over-the-counter) for about a month. If symptoms do not go away, then you may need to see a gastroenterologist for an examination called endoscopy to determine the cause of it.
I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
