Brief Answer: Acid peptic disease Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the information. Based on the information provided I suspect you to have acid peptic disease. this is due to increased acidity in the stomach which may damage the stomach lining and lead to the symptoms you have. I suggest you to take an antacid which will reduce these symptoms. Tab Prilosec OTC taken once early in the morning before breakfast for 15 days will help to get rid of the stomach pain. Avoid spicy and fatty foods. Also consume food at right timings. Wish you good health. Regards,
