General & Family Physician,  's  Response
It seems you have a case of Acid reflux from your stomach with associated gastritis. The pain is most probably from the acid which ascends upto your esophagus. You should stop taking Ibuprofen immediately as this can worsen the gastritis. You should use anti acid medications such as Ranitidine, Pantoprasole, Rabeprasole, Omeprasole which can be obtained by prescription of a doctor. You should also do the following things:
1. Sleep with 2 or 3 pillows to keep your head elevated from your stomach
2. Do not lie down immediately after your meals
3. For each meal, do not eat till your stomach is very full. Eat small meals
4. Avoid spicy foods, fatty foods, fried foods, canned food and junk food.
Kindly do the above and consult me again if you are still experiencing problems. Good day and take care.
