Consult GI.
Numerous possibilities. Contact your surgeon or gastroenterologist
You may have a peptic (gastric or stomach) ulcer. You can try to take over-the-counter medications like an H2 blocker (ranitidine) or a PPI (omeprazole, pantoprazole). If this does not help your symptoms, I would recommend evaluation by a gastroenterologist. An endoscopy may be warranted to help identify the cause.
