Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe stomach discomfort due to acid reflux which is due to excessive production of acid by stomach and due to poor control of sphincters. Need not to worry. You should drink plenty of fluids and take diet rich in multivitamins. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order endoscopy , ambulatory acid test and x-ray of upper digestive tract . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitor . For now avoid spicy and heavy food specially at night , eat one hour before going to bed. You should eat small and frequent meal and take light walk after every meal .

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
