HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the NSAID (Ibuprofen) taken for long time then it might caused the gastritis but not the ulcer if this is the pre-existing condition of ulcer then great care need to be taken for what ever the symptoms are there and for that better to see the Gastroenterologist till then antacid and Tab Omeprazole 40 mg can be tried hope this information helps.
