Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking
You are experiencing pain in right side abdomen and burping.
To my opinion your symptoms are related with :
1. Gallbladder issues like sludge
2. Acid reflux (GERD)
If I were your treating doctor I would recommend doing:
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
Also I would suggest changing your lifestyle like:
- avoid coffee, chocolate, tea, alcohol
- avoid spicy, chilly and fatty foods
- eat often and small amount of meal.
- eat three hours before going to bed.
- use two pillows when you lay down
- increase physical activity
Meantime keep going with reflux meds like PPI (omeprazole) twice per day and antacids.
Wish you all the best
