What could be the cause of pain
<bot>: Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Pain in epigastric area suggests increased secretion of acid in your stomach. In my clinic, many such patients do come, to whom after examination of abdomen, I advise ultrasound of abdomen & pelvis, if necessary. You should avoid hot/spicy food, late night meals, alcohol, smoking. Also, try to reduce stress, if any, with yoga & meditation. Consult your doctor for medicines like omeprazole, spy. Sucralfate & upper GIs copy if needed. Wish you speedy recovery. Hope this information is useful for you. Thanks. Regards.
