Brief Answer:
Could be due to acute gastritis.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on 'Ask A Doctor' forum.
I can understand your concern.

By your history and description, the possibility of acute gastritis related symptoms is more likely.

Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Take antacid like tablets PANTOPRAZOLE 40mg twice daily before meals.

Go for walking after meals.

Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.

Wish you good health.
Thanks
