Brief Answer:
the reason is acute gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It seems like you had acute severe gastritis last night.

You should be taking antacids like Rantac or Pantop that will help to decrease the stomach acid secretion. Please get the appropriate medicines prescribed by your doctor.

For immediate relief, you can take Digene gel around 15ml on empty stomach.

Do have a regular eating habit and follow healthy diet.

Get well soon.

Brief Answer:
medication described below

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I would recommend you to start yourself on a single tablet of Pantoprazole or Pantop 40mg early in the morning on empty stomach for the next one week. This way you will feel much better and symptom- free.

Hope this helps. Get well soon.
