Hello,
-It is possible that you have gastritis (irritation of the stomach lining) or an ulcer in the duodenum (part of the small intestine).
- However, there is no need to worry. You can take OTC antacids temporarily and see if that helps. If it persists, your primary care physician can provide proton pump inhibitor that would need a prescription.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
