Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
It can either be gastritis or a ureteric colic. Get a ultrasound of your abdomen to rule of stones. Also if you are having burning sensation during urination or blood in urine then chances of stone are more.
If no stoned is seen in usg then take some antacid like omeprazole or pantaprazole for the gastritis.
