Hunger pain: you may have gastritis. The fact that eating helps may be because the food is buffering the stomach acid. Try an antiacid or an OTC medication such as Zantac (ranitidine) for a few days to see I'd it helps. If your symptoms worsen on medication or persist, this could indicate a possible infection of the stomach or ulcer. This needs further evaluation.
