Hello,

Your all symptoms are suggestive of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.

Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause chest pain, chest tightness, pressure, belching, burping etc. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in GERD.

1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Take Pantoprazole and Levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily.
4. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head to prevent reflux.
6. Go for walking after meals.

Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
