Suggest Remedies For Discomfort In Stomach And Tightness In Chest

Hi, I am having a really hard time to burp since yesterday and it seems like all the food that I ate was just stock inside my stomach. I m feeling a bit tight on my chest right now and there s this little feeling that I want to vomit. Can you give me a home remedy? I ve tried to drink sodas to burp but was unhelpful. Thank you.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having GERD ( Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease ).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.
Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms.
Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid stress and anxiety.
4. Start proton pump inhibitor and anti emetic combination.
5. Go for walk after meals.
6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed.
7. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have habit.
8. Loose weight if you are obese.
