Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The symptoms could be due to a bad gastric reflux or even hiatal hernia. It can also be due to shingles or costochondritis. If there is pain on pressing, then probably it is costochondritis. At times abscess in spleen can be a cause.
Take the treatment for H pylori along with that for reflux like omeprazole, and see if it helps.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination and treatment. Take care!
