Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a hiatal hernia.
A hiatal hernia is a type of a hernia in which abdominal organs slip through the diaphragm into the middle compartment of the chest.
An abdominal ultrasound and a chest X-ray is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment usually is with surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
