Hello.

Thanks for writing to HCM

There is possibility of gastric mucosal tear which may heal with medical treatment.

I will advise to start antacids [proton pump inhibitors like] rabeprazole 20 mg twice a day.
Sucralfate will protect gastric mucosa and will give protective covering.

You may need to do CT scan and USG abdomen.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. 

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
