Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are mostly having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and gaseous distention of stomach due to GERD.
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 the symptoms. It also causes gaseous distention.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
4. Go for walking after meals. Loose weight if you are obese. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
