Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, this kind of symptoms are common after heavy beer drinking.
Beer is alcoholic drink.
And alcoholic drinks are known to cause GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms burning central chest pain, nausea, vomiting etc.
So better not to drink beer or other alcoholic drinks.
Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach for symptomatic relief.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
