Hello,
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
I will be glad to answer it for you.
All the symptoms you explain can be related to gastritis or gastric reflux/ gastric ulcer.
The next step is to undrgo Upper GI endoscopy to ruleout the acid reflux related issues.
Once the Endoscopy result is normal, we can investigate further for the other causes. Please get abck with the report.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
