Brief Answer:
She might be having GERD.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, she might be having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest tightness, pressure, dipping feeling, gaseous distention and bloating of stomach.
Please let me know
1. Is she taking antacid drug?
2. What she takes for bloating?
3. Is she having burning epigastric pain, belching, burping?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
