Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears that you have the hiatal hernia,a herniation of the stomach into the diaphragm at the entrance of the esophagus.
The other reasons may be the inususeption, adhesions, etc.
I advise you to consult a gastroentrologist for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have a M.R.I. ,gastroscopy, and other tests for diagnosis.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
