Based on your history, I assume the pain is not constant and it comes and goes. It could be a simple case of gastritis or something else. Till the time you get to your doctor who can examine and investigate to give you correct diagnosis, you can try some of these things to relieve pain. Try using over the counter antacid preparations . Avoid spicy food, tea, coffee and soda drinks. Have light meals every few hours and avoid alcohol/ smoking. Having some sips of cold milk can also sometimes provide relief. Medications can only be advised when more precise history is available.
Health Tips
Some antacid preparations are to be avoided in pregnancy.
