What Causes Heaviness In Chest And Stomach After Meal?

hello i have a weird problem with my stomach it started few days ago and im wondering is it because of christmass food or something really serious.. Anyway when im waking up everything is ok until i eat something doesnt really matter what or how much do i eat im starting to feel dizzy after 30 minutes and got a feeling like someone would sit on my chest and keep bouncing on it.... i took some medicines and some kind of teas but nothing really helped at all after 2 hours of pain i had a feeling like (i must throw up) and i did it and it helped! but when some time passed i was hungry again so i took a trip to fridge eat something and same problem.... is there any cure for that or diagnosis what could it be?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more.
GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause chest tightness, chest pressure, gaseous feeling, nausea etc.
So avoid oily, spicy and fatty food.
Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Take combination of pantoprazole and levosulperide twice daily before food.
Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Go for walking after meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
