Hi ! How is your food habits ? Do you eat frequently from out side your home ? If yes, please try to avoid it. Apart from this, you may take some proton pump inhibitor and antacid drugs. If they are not relieving your symptoms, you are suggested to go for an ultrasound/CTscan of abdomen on discussion with your family physician/gastroenterologist, which will exclude/confirm major problem if any. Wishing you an early recovery.
