HI
Thank fro asking to HCM
Yours is chronic problem, and might not be treated properly, now try Omeprazole 40 mg once a day at evening time, continue it for six weeks, avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy food, divide your meal in three part or two part, no heavy meal, no coffee, or alcohol before going to bed, have alkali raw vegetable in the form of salad, keep the stress level very low, this will give nice result and if it does not work then medical workup would be required, take care bye
