[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. Yes, This is possibly a stomach ulcer. The reason being history of pain sometime goes back. This classically appears in posterior wall stomach ulcers or pancreatitis. I would advise the routine blood and urine tests; stool - routine and for occult blood. The most important is an Upper GI Endoscopy and ultrasonography of abdomen. This will confirm the diagnosis. The treatment will depend upon the findings; in addition go for a soft bland diet. Small frequent meals, life without stress as this is one of the most important factor.
