Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms are most likely caused by peptic ulcer. However it is not a good idea to treat it without upper GI endoscopy. It is necessary to rule gastric cancer out and see if there is a Helicobacter Pylori infection. This is very important as without this bacteria eradication peptic ulcers wont go away.
Abdominal ultrasound is also necessary as such symptoms may be caused by gall stones or pancreas diseases. Fool blood work with liver enzymes and pancreas enzymes should be done as well.
Only after this tests proper treatment can be ordered.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
