Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern.
After having gone through your history I am of the opinion that you have some sort of acidity related problem due to reflux which is commonly referred to as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Take a course of Proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole along with Domperidone one hour before breakfast once daily for at least 4 weeks.
Beside, avoid hot and spicy foods, eat home cooked food, take yoghurt or a glass of milk after the dinner, go to the bed at least 2-3 hrs following dinner.
Hope to have answered your query.
Best regards.
