Brief Answer:
antacid will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would advise that you should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg for relief from your symptoms. A probiotic along with digestive enzyme preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase after meals will have added benefits. Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid mental and emotional stress.
4.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
5.Avoid self medications, especially pain killers and steroids.
6.Drink lots of water daily.
7.Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
8.Avoid gas producing foods like peas, cabbage, legumes, etc.
If the symptoms persists, get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a Gastroentologist. An Endoscopy may be helpful in planning further medical management.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
