Stomach pain/gastritis/ulcer

I’ve been suffering with upper abdo pain for about 8 weeks, generally have a dull burning ache that’s worse pretty much straight after eating, heartburn that goes into my back & upper abdo bloating. Gaviscon isn’t working, doctor prescribed me lansoprazole for 4 weeks which didn’t work. Had to come off them for 2 weeks and send a stool sample off which I’m waiting to hear back from this week if that’s all clear being referred for an endoscopy.

I had a baby 10 weeks ago now, had a c section and was taking regular paracetamol & ibuprofen for the first 10 days.
Some nights we eat tea late due to my partner working shifts and as soon as I lie down around 2 hours later I’m up for hours in the worst pain and my stomach just feels so sore until around 3am.
I’m just looking for anyone else who’s been through something similar and what they were diagnosed with and did to help. I’m obviously worried sick about it :(

H.pylori infection if it's definitely your stomach and not other bits in your abdomen. Have you been tested for it?

Just waiting on the results for it. Is it something you’ve had?

Yes, acid indigestion almost permanently but very much only in upper abdomen/stomach. Cured with a hefty course of antibiotics and omeprazole (that's for the acid, you can cure H.pylori without it) It's 3 antibiotics together for about a week.
