OMG, stop NSAID's!: There are many causes of peptic distress including: food, obesity, pregnancy, smoking, alcohol, stress, h.Pylori infection, daily or prolonged NSAID use, to name a few. Your two-year history of daily use of nsaid's (meloxicam, advil/ibuprofen) is the red flag here. Unless prescribed, stop the nsaid's, start Prilosec otc, ; assess response over 3-4 days. Call doc if persistent symptoms, bleeding...
