Hello,

Burning while eating and drinking something and pain in the middle of chest, also called as retrosternal burning is due to gastritis and GERD that is gastroesophageal reflux disease. I would advise you the following:
• Get started with a PPI like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole which you can get.
• Antacid liquid every 3 hourly and Domperidone or Metoclopramide to regulate the motility.

This should give you best results. Soft bland diet in small and frequent meals. If this does not help fully then go for upper GI Endoscopy and other studies to see for the cause and effects and get treated accordingly preferably under the care of a gastroenterologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
