Thanks for your feedback.
The possibilities that I can think about as follows:
If the pain is present even on just touching the area, herpes Zoster is one possibility, the rash takes times to appear hence watch for any redness rash in the affected area.
Costochondritis: stress increases the pain and skin may become sensitive.
Gastritis with ulceration: can cause bleeding that change color of stool to tar like: Upper GI Endoscopy and stool tests routine as well as for occult blood helps to pinpoint the cause .
Get the clinical evaluation and necessary investigations to get the exact cause so that an appropriate and specific treatment can be taken.
I hope this answers your query and helps you.
Please get the things done and give feedback.
Continue the medications you are already on.
Request your Doctor to add Domperidone or Metoclopramide if she/he thinks necessary - needs a valid prescription from your treating Doctor.
Antacids particularly when on empty stomach.
