Hello dear,
The symptoms can be attributed to increased gas formation, secondary to increase in acid secretion the stomach.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of antacids like Pantoperazole 20 mg twice a day (to be taken 30 min before meals) & Digene gel (to be taken after food)
If symptom still persist, kindly consult a Gastroenterologist for proper clinical examination.
Ultrasound scan of abdomen & upper GI endoscopy will be helpful to detect any pathological cause of the symptoms.
Take care.
