Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to gastritis and reflux. But if you are getting chest discomfort also better to rule out cardiac cause of it by doing an ECG. Taking antacids and warm water bags on abdomen helps in relieving in case of gastritis. Taking proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole for short period will help you to get rid off this problem also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
