hi thank you for asking your concern and welcome HCM. from your description it seems to be duodenal ulcer to me, if it decreases with meals and increases on empty stomach then mostly it is duodenal and if vice versa then gastric ulcer. there are multiple cause to it like food habits, junk food, alcohol, smoking, excessive tea coffee and most of the time it is H. Pylori infection. it is said that you have to take anti h. pylori treatment along with anti ulcer. there are some tests to detect it but they are not that reliable. anti h pylori treatment consist of tablet clarithromycin or amaxicillin, metronidazole and omeprazole for two weeks. there are multiple anti h pylori blister packets are available in market you can use any of it. i hope i answered your concern if you feel any doubt please ask us regards dr. Abhijit
