Out of 50 cases 35 (70%) were males and 15 (30%) were females (table 1) with mean age 45.8± 10.76 (table 2). The most common symptoms clinically were epigastric / upper abdominal pain 30(60%), heartburn 25 (50%), nausea / vomiting 28(56%) and constipation 25 (50%). The precipitating factors like use of NSAIDS, cigerrett smoking, and alcoholism were found in 50%, 38%, and 10% respectively.
