Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of heartburn. Well heartburn is very common problem. It seems to be due to release of oesophageal sphincter and excessive production of acid by stomach. It could be due to lifestyle related as well. Need not to worry. Treatment of acid reflux depend upon taking medicine and alteration in lifestyle. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night. Eat at least one hour before going to bed, take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal , take antacid after every meal like gelusil. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and start treatment after complete prescription. Avoid taking outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
