Hello,
I think you should change your lifestyle. Avoid tight-fitting clothing Sit up for at least three hours after you finish eating. Sleep at a slight angle. Quit smoking Avoid certain foods and drinks like spicy or greasy foods, chocolate, alcohol, and beverages that contain caffeine. You can take Maalox. And for constipation drink, plenty of water, eat food rich in fiber exercise use plumb or senna. If you don't feel better take an appointment with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
