Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more.
Along with drugs, you need to follow these lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid stress and tension.
2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux.
5. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
6. Loose weight if you are obese.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
