I have had this for the past 15-20 years.
It happens any time of the day (not during the night). Not directly linked to meals.
Frofthy Sputum: No
I take my meals more or less at the same time.
I have never smoked or drink.
I drink medication for my underactive thyroid. No surgeries.
I am a housewife.
This is a new problem. I asked my doctor what the reason might be but he did not know and did not refer me for any other tests.
I drink a lot of warm milk coffee.
It is a frustrating problem
Thank you for your help

Brief Answer:
Rabeprazole trial and scopy
Detailed Answer:
Hi madam.Thanks for writing me back.
I have thoroughly read your answer and completely understand your concern.
According to me you are having indigestion.I were to suggest Tab.Rabeprazole 20mg once daily for 4-6 weeks.
In case your symptoms donot subside then I would evaluate by doing upper GI endoscopy (and colonoscopy if required) to exclude local pathology(atrophy, inflammation, obstruction etc).
Hope this answers your query.
