Thanks for the follow up query.
With this much of gastric problem, you must get some basic investigations done.

Here are my suggestions...
1. Please consider taking Tab Pan D, for at least one month on a regular basis. You have mentioned you already take it, but maybe you were taking as and when needed. Please get the correct dosage and duration of the medicine prescribed by your good and prolonged gastric acid control, the medication must be taken on a regular basis for at least a month.
2 XXXXXXX a physician and get these investigations done.
- Ultrasound abdomen
- If possible upper gut endoscopy.

The above investigations will help in diagnosing your problem.

Feel free to ask, if you have further queries.
