Hi Arty,
Thanks for writing your query.
The symptoms described by you are indicating towards GERD (
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease).
Pain in the chest and excessive burping is due to increased acid production and gas production.
Taking antacid like
Omeprazole 20 mg along with
Domperidone 10 mg early in the morning will be beneficial. Antacid gel will be more effective as it forms a protective layer over the damaged mucosa.
Follow following precautions:-
1. Take care of your diet. Avoid spicy and oily foods. Donot miss a meal or remain empty stomach for long.
2. Avoid emotional/mental stress.
3. Avoid cigarrete smoking/tobacco and alcohol intake.
4. Donot self medicate especially with pain killers and steroids.
Get yourself investigated for H. pylori, a common cause of
gastritis and also get an
endoscopy done.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
