Hello and thank you for your question!
Stomach pain is a condition that need proper attention, and care.
To be able to give you a specific advise i need to know some mor einformations about your problem... Like when does the pain started (before meals or after meals,) does it get better after you eat something? Is there also any presence or burning sensations, or chest discomfort? How often dou you get this pain? Are you using( or used in the past) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs?
I suggest you to consult an Enterologyst doctor and do some more test to rule out any presnce of Gastro/duodenal ulcers... I reccomend to do oesophagus gastro duodenoscopy endoscopy and the Urea Breath Test to see if there is any presnce of Helicobacter Pylore in your digestive tract, wich may be the cause of your symptomes.
Best regards!
