Brief Answer:
It is gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Your symptoms look like you are suffering from simple acute gastritis.
As you have been doing please avoid caffeinated drinks like tea or coffee and eat on time.
Avoid spicy food.
It is good you are active and.still working, but avoid stress and sleep on time
If symptoms continue pantoprazole twice daily would be the drug of choice.
If Pantoprazole also doesn't help please see a gastroenterologist
Hope this helps
Best wishes
