Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Let me know the associated symptoms along with mentioned.
Do you have acidic belching/ abdominal discomfort/ excessive flatulence/ gargling sound in abdomen/ abdominal bloating after taking meals?
Are you getting burning sensation in upper abdomen and retrosternal in location?
With the available described symptoms, there appears to be possibility of functional dyspepsia.
Functional dyspepsia is a functional disorder of gastrointestinal tract and Organic disease must be ruled out.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for ultrasound imaging, serum amylase and lipase, thyroid profile, blood sugar level.
You should also go for urea breathe test for H. Pylori.
If Urea breathe test is found to be positive then you have to take complete eradication therapy for H. Pylori bacteria.
Meanwhile, you should take proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics for relief of your symptoms. You should also take antispasmodics.
Your blood sugar must be in controlled range.
You should avoid tomatoes, citrus fruits, tea, coffee, chocolates and oily spicy foods.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
