Hello,
Exrecise may help because it may lead to weight loss which is beneficial in such difficulties. But usually this is sign of gastritis and the only reasonable treatemnt is avoiding food that trigger your symptms and taking antiacid medicines. Also, you should avoid alcohol, smoking,spicy food and carbonated drinks. If this progresses you need to do gastroscopy for further evaluation which can establish is there some serious stomach issue or not.
wish you a quick recovery
