Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

No, this medicines rather do not cause such effects on stomach. However other factors like stress, coffee intake or painkillers intake can cause such symptoms which seem to be caused by peptic ulcer or stomach inflammation.
This conditions along with stomach cancer needs to be ruled out.
I suggest you to modify your diet: avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, orange juice. If this wont help, please consult your doctor and consider gastroscopy.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Detailed Answer:
Well, H.Pylori should be rather checked during gastroscopy. But you can start with it. Please note that for your safety stomach cancer is the thing which should be ruled out. You can not do that with H.Pylori stool test.
