Most Likely, you are experiencing a gastric disorder: gastritis, duodenitis, peptic ulcer, GERD, hiatus hernia, etc. An endoscopy (gastroscopy) can identify the real cause of the stomach symptoms you describe. An abdominal ultrasound, blood analyses (standard plus liver and renal profile), and Helicobacter pillory serology are also recommended in cases of undiagnosed stomach trouble.
