Hello
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your description and relief after medicines you have taken, This could be related to acid reflux; Acid peptic disease or liver and all bladder disease

I see patients with similar complaints in my clinic and after thorough clinical examination I would advise them for a battery of tests like liver function test and an ultrasound or an endoscopy if need be.

In my opinion you should take anti acidity medicines like pantoprazole or omeprazolewith antacids for 10 to 15 days
Avoid fatty fried and spicy food
try to reduce some weight.
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
Don't lie down immediately after food
avoid overeating

Thanks for your question
Best wishes
