Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.ll Your problem can be most likely due to gastritis and gastroesophaeal reflux (GERD). Taking proton pump inhibitors like Esomeprazole (Nexium) and motility enhancers like Domperidone for 2 to 4 weeks will be helpful to clear this. If there is no improvement then consult a gastroenterologist to know the exact status.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
