I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complain your symptoms of severe acid issues, burping, stomach pain, burning sensation and sternum can be due to Acid Reflux problem or GERD.

You can be advised to take Proton Pump Inhibitors like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole. Take antacids like Milk of magnesia. Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water. Always take walk after meals and take your dinner at least 2 hours before sleep. You should sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet.
