General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suspect gastroduodenal peptic ulcera.
Peptic ulcers include:

Gastric ulcers that occur on the inside of the stomach
Duodenal ulcers that occur on the inside of the upper portion of your small intestine (duodenum)
Do a fybroscopy to diagnose it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
