Hello,
If acid reflux and stomach area pain not present than chance of gastric ulcer is less. But if these symptoms associated than antacid can be prescribed for that. You can investigate further with chest X-ray and EKG if needed. If you have any history of gastric ulcer like pathology than mention it.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
