Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

You have dyspeptic symptoms in the form of indigestion, bloating and abdominal pain.
You take Prilosec or Nexium once daily before breakfast for relief.
Since you are 60 years old, I would also advise you to get an EGD done.
You can consult a gastroenterologist and get a date fixed for EGD (Endoscopy).

Let me know if you have any more questions.
