Brief Answer:
symptoms more suggestive of gastritis or reflux

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

These symptoms suggest more of gastritis and/or reflux. Omeprazole is a good remedy for this.

But if the symptoms are persistent, Then I would recommend an upper GI endoscopy to rule out more serious problems. That should give the definite diagnosis.

Overall, I don't think there is any cause for worry right now.

Hope this helps.
Regards
