Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would suggest that you should follow some precautions like :-
1. Avoid spicy/oily foods.
2. Do not miss a meal.
3. Avoid smoking/alcohol, if any.
4. Avoid emotional/mental stress.
5. Avoid gas producing foods like peas, gram, lentils,cabbage, etc.
6. Do not talk while eating and do not eat fast.
7. Drink lots of pure water daily.
8. Avoid aerated drinks like cold drinks.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before breakfast along with Domperidone 10 mg. Antacid in gel or liquid form is also beneficial.

Following investigations will be helpful :-
1. H.pylori test.
2. Endoscopy.

If the problem persists, get yourself examined by a Gastroenterologist.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
