Need PPI Rx and: H. pylori testing. You must immediagely consult your physician since this is not a normal treatment for gastritis or gastric ulcerations. If symptoms have been present for over a year, why ask it today? You need a GI evaluation and probable endoscopy. Start Nexium now.

GI: A persistent pain like that for year would likely need a GI referal . Probably needs evaluation.
