?many possibilities: Causes could include peptic ulcer disease, gastritis (inflammation of stomach lining, chronic pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation), gallstone disease. An upper endoscopy can be helpful in older aged white men > 50 years old, heavy alcohol drinker, smokers, if associated with vomiting blood, weight loss etc. Trial of therapy with acid suppression like ranitidine, pantoprazole can be helpful
