Acidity Problem With Chest Pain, Voluminous Air From Mouth. Taking Shelcal. Any Advise ?

I am having acidity problem for some time now. It usually happens beyond 8:00pm. It starts with a pain below chest, accompanied with volumnous air passing from mouth (In hindi, called 'dakaar'). Then I can not lie down and can not sleep. It subsides after 2:00 o'clock past midnight. In the morning and during the day, I feel alright. Last time, I had this problem, I took a five day course of Pantop DSR ( 1 tablet in morning - empty stomach). It helped and I did not have any problem for about 15 days. Then for last two days, I am having the same problem again. I have started Pantop DSR again.
A little medical history - also had a problem of joint pains, so went for B12 and calcium - vitamin D3 test on doctor's advice. Both of the parameters were below normal. So I took 'neurobion' for 15 days, then gave a gap of 15 days and started again 'neurobion plus'. All above on doctor's prescription. I am also taking 'Sellcal HD' for a month now.
Please advise.

Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you are suffering from acute gastritis. Continue taking Pantop DSR twice daily before food. Since this is your second time having a severe episode of acute gastritis I recommend you to meet a gastro enterologist for an endoscopy to rule out gastric erosions or ulcer.

I wish you good health

Regards
