Hello, thanks for your query. If a patent like your mom comes to my clinic.initially I would start her ant acids like raberazole 20 mg/ intravenous injection of omeprazole. As this symptoms do suggest of gastric pain...secondly I would like to further evaluate by doing sonography of abdomen to reveal any abnormalities.also will run some test for enzyme levels thirdly blood test are necessary for her.

Hope you got your answer... in case if you want to take her to the
