Hi XXXXX,

Thanks for your follow up ,

It's good that your investigations are normal. It might be good if you can get an ECG done to exclude possibility of heart illness - the chances I feel are low.

It seems to be a reflux of gas or fluids from stomach into the esophagus (food pipe)

I recommend you that you should not drink water after taking meal , avoid fast foods , use vegetables and practice regular exercise .

Healthy life style will solve this issue.

Hope I answered .
