[|AI|]  Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post is attributed to Acid Peptic Disease. It is caused due to erosion of gastric/ duodenal mucosa secondary to increased acid production in the stomach. Presence of pain during empty stomach, which relieves on medication is characteristic of a Duodenal ulcer. Investigation like Upper GI endoscopy will be helpful in determining the location & severity of the ulcers. Kindly get it done. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Pantoprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals) & antacid gel (to be taken after meals). They prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief. And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods2.  Chat Doctor.
