Brief Answer:
Medications and dietary precautions will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a medical professional.
It seems that you might be having gastritis.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid mental and emotional stress.
4.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
5.Avoid self medications, especially pain killers and steroids.
6.Drink lots of water daily.
7.Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.

An Endoscopy may be helpful in planning further medical management.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards.
