Hello,

Blood pressure and pulse are within the limit as per history. For stomach pain gastritis, stomach ulcer, acute gastric indigestion etcetera can be the possibility. For that, Rabeprazole drug once a day for a week can be prescribed.

Avoid gastric irritants such as:
- Excess tea, coffee
- Smoking
- Stress etcetera

A cooked oatmeal help in the soothing stomach. If no improvement, then endoscopy examination and USG abdomen can be done. Consult gastroenterologist for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
