Go for an ultra sound abdomen, I would suggest you not to worry too much.
Kerp taking proton pump inhibitor along with a prokinetic drug (eg.Domperidone) for 3 days. This will provide you symptomatic relief from symptoms.
Any over counter probiotic like VSL#3 should be taken for few days to provide relief in symptoms of indigestion.Take it twice daily to help in improving gut flora.
Take activayed charcoal tablets for few days.

Don't sleep immediately after eating, wait for at least two hours before you go to bed.
