Hello, In my opinion, you are mostly having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause chest pain, burping, gaseous feeling, throat pain etcetera. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in HERD.1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.2. Avoid large meals, instead, take frequent small meals.3. Take pantoprazole and levosulpiride combination on empty stomach twice daily.4. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.5. Keep 2-3 pillows under the head in bed.6. Go for walking after meals. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
