<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello, i have had stomach pains for the last few weeks or so but they have been becoming less and less often. They occor mostly around 3 at night, waking me up. The pain is as though the upper area of my abdomen is being twisted. Ive been eating my normal diet, slowed down my exercise a small bit though.  <response>: Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. This is the typical history in a case of ?duodenal ulcer. This is due to excess secretion of acid producing an ulcer. This can be due to hotspicy food or late night meals or excessive stress or alcoholsmoking. Avoid this. Endoscopy is advisable for confirmation of diagnosis. Consult your doctor for medicines like omeprazole, spy. Sucralfate etc. Hope this information is useful. Wish you a good health. Thanks. Regards.
