Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
The most likely cause is gastritis and you can get relief with medications like omeprazole. The next possible cause is pancreatitis.
Since you drink alcohol regularly alcoholic hepatitis is also a possible cause.
I would advise you an ultrasound scan of the abdomen, a liver function test and an upper GI endoscopy be done to look for the status of these three organs.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
