Question: every time i eat i feel bloated. i feel pressure up in me chest. it feels as if my food is right at the bottom of my throat. i've awakened in the middle of the night choking on a very acid, burning substance.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query
According to your history , you are having severe gastritis.
Instead of taking Zantac , you have start with the proton pump inhibitors like Tab Omeprazole/pantaprazole with combination of Domperidone to avoid burp/food regurgitation, So start with Tab Omez-D
As you have chronic gastritis rule out h.pylori infection by urea breath test...
If positive accordingly drug given like omeprazole plus ampicillin and clarithromycine...
Mean while avoid gastric irritants like.....
-smoking
-alcohol
-self medication
-NSAIDs (pain killers)
More gas problem that may because of more fatty food consumption.
Too fast eating and improper chewing may cause gas problem.
Stress and anxiety may aggravate a condition.
Lactose intolerance may cause excessive bloating problem.
Consent a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Endoscopy/Abdominal ultra sonography is helpful for further diagnosis.
Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, broccoli, carbonated drinks
Avoid spicy foods and fatty foods.
Drink more water.
Do a regular exercise.
Simethicone drug/Digene syrup/gasonil syrup help for gas relief.
Have food on time
Avoid lying on bed, immediately after food
If you have any doubt , you are welcome
Take care
