Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that you are having acid peptic disorder. As the pain is persistent, hiatus hernia and H.pylori infection needs to be ruled out. Consulting a gastroenterologist will be helpful for further investigations required in your case.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
