Hi
Thanks for posting query on Healthcare Magic
Your symptoms indicate possibility of acid peptic disease that may result in to peptic ulcer. That could be causing pain. Sometime blood vessel this ulcer erodes nearby blood vessels and causes bleeding in stomach or duodenum give black color to stool.
Consult doctor he will give you medication (pantoprazole or omeprazole) investigate (Hemoglobin, CBC, Stool for occult blood) and if necessary endoscopy.
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.
