Brief Answer:
Ulcers can be suspected in such case.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. An ECG should be taken to rule out any cardiac cause of pain to be on safe side. More potent agent like proton pump inhibitors (esomeprazole) will be helpful in your case. Combination of motility agents like domperidone along with this will be more helpful.
If that is not helping then a consultation with gastroenterologist should be done. Fibrogastroduodenoscopy will be done in such case to rule out any possibility of ulcers.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
