Brief Answer:
It is GERD

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
The uncomfortable feeling you are having is an esophageal spasm.
Which along with gastritis gives a very uncomfortable feeling.
I would recommend you to take short ,frequent meals.
Avoid spicy, oily and fatty food
Tab Esmoperazole 40mg daily half an hour before food is the drug of choice.
Don't stay hungry for long hours and avoid stress.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
