Brief Answer:
Acid peptic disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you have are typically seen in acid peptic disease which could be in the form of hyperacidity or irregular acid release. This causes indigestion and delayed transit time of the food in the stomach. The food do not pass down soon leading to pressure in the chest and other associated symptoms.
I suggest you to take a course of antacids like Tab PRILOSEC OTC one early in the morning before breakfast for a week. This will solve your problem for sure.
Do avoid oily and spicy foods, also do take fiber supplements like ISOBGOL powder one spoon taken in a glass of milk or water in the night after food.
Hope, I answered your query.
regards,
