Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
The symptoms you describe(indigestion, chest/throat burns) are likely caused by gastritis/GERD.I will suggest you try the following:
-Take an antacid like maalox
-An anti-secretory like omeprazole
-Avoid foods that aggravate symptoms
-Eat in small quantities and frequently
-Avoid eating and lying down immeidately
If symptoms persist, you see a Gastrologist for examination and an endoscopy.An H pylori test will also be very useful.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
