Hello, based on your symptoms, the doctor thinks you may have peptic ulcer disease. The location of epigastric pain is usually due to the stomach, but sometimes gallbladder disease or gallstones can also cause pain there. Therefore, to accurately diagnose the disease, you should visit a gastroenterologist for advice as well as direct examination, thereby giving measures such as endoscopic examination of the stomach or abdominal ultrasound or CT scan. computer class if necessary. You say in the evening you have severe pain, maybe that's when your stomach doesn't have food, but the acid secretes too much, so it causes severe pain. You should be examined immediately to avoid dangerous complications of peptic ulcer if left for a long time: gastric perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding.
A few words to exchange with you. Hello.
