I'm also getting my camera tests ( up and down!!) done urgently too.
My symptoms for the upper stomach have been burping constantly and the gnawing pain at night, no indigestion at all yet!
You really do need to find out if you have it as its best eliminated early, I let my symptoms come and go for over 20 years till I sought help.
The camera test should provide reassurance as nothing nasty will get by that xx
Good luck x

Really hope it all goes that simple for you!
I'm also 37!!
You really don't want the ulcer associated with HP!!
Oddly, and I'm convinced I have A HP ulcer, I NEVER get a stomach bug!! Like, not in 22 years which is odd! I reasoned if I do have HP that it probably kills any potential bugs, would you find this?

Not sure if they run in families but ulcers should not ever be left untreated.
Unfortunately I have had a dodgy blood result come back elevated, it's a tumour marker but ulcers can raise this and smoking, I have just given up last week from 25 a day!!! So praying it's just those factors raising it.
I would push for a GI referral or try a second opinion, think hard for anything else that could be related.
I get shocking night sweats oddly.
Push on, don't be put off xx
