Hello,
Your symptoms of belching, nausea, metallic taste and difficulty in breathing in the middle of night are all pointing toward acid reflux. Well, all these symptoms are indicative of acid reflux and it leads to regurgitation of acid and food particles from stomach to food pipe and throat.
I would suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like upper GI endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. You can be advised to take proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole. Take antacids like Milk of Magnesia. Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water.
Always take walk after meals and take your dinner at least 2 hours before sleep. You should sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
