Above mentioned history is insufficient to arrive at a diagnosis , to ascertain the cause of DYSPEPSIA . At times Gall bladder issues can present similar to this , also gastritis , peptic ulcer disease , etc . So just symptomayic relief is not just the solution , because in long term PPIs per se can have side effects . Would like to know a few more details in history for proper assessment , before providing an appropriate opinion & further plan of action . Please consult on Practo for the same as per your convenience.
