Brief Answer:
This is due to indigestion

Detailed Answer:
susThanks for the update sir.

I would probably suspect indigestion.
Suggest anti-reflux medication (Tab.Rabeprazole 20 mg) half an hour before breakfast daily for one month.This is available over the counter.Drink plenty of oral fluids.Avoid spicy, oily and fatty food.
Get well soon.

Please feel free to revert for further queries you may have.

Brief Answer:
Suggest stool softener

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your quick revert.

According to your description you are also having constipation.Recommend-
10ml stool softener(lactulose syrup) for one week.
Fresh fruits, veggies, high fibre diet.
Isphagula husk.
Exercise-walking for 30 minutes per day.

Fibre adds to bulk of your feces and facilities free movement of bowels.

Hope this helps.
