Diabetologist,  's  Response
All your above symptoms indicate that you are suffering from acid reflux disease. But before I could tell anything about the treatment, I would first suggest you to get an ECG to rule out any cardiac cause although it is unlikeky.
I would have prescribed my patient initially pantoprazole 40mg once daily for 7-10days 20 minutes before dinner. And most importantly I would rather strictly advice on lifestyle modifications like
- Cutting down on smoking as it is a risk factor for both gastritis and cardio vascular diseases
- Cutting down on alcohol as it also increases the risk of gastritis
- Routine physical exercise
Lifestyle modifications will go a long way in your present condition and also helps you in the long run.
