Ulcer dyspepsia and GERD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

You are having symptoms of ulcer dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Pepto bismol and zantac are good medications to control the symptoms of ulcer dyspepsia and GERD.
If you are not getting adequate relief, you can take prilosec.
If the pain is persisting, an upper GI endoscopy and test for Helicobacter pylori may have to be done.

I hope that answers your question.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
