thank you.
this type of problem have some differential diagnosis.
peptic ulcer disease,chronic pancreatitis,reflux esophagitis & non ulcer dyspepsia are the possible causes.
at first an endoscopy of the upper GIT is helpful to exclude PUD & esophagitis.
if it is non conclusive then other causes should be excluded.
it is better to consult a gastroenterologist.
