Hello and welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of pain chest, bloating sensation and burping of gas is suggestive of regurgitation of gastric contents into the esophagus and thus the symptoms.
Its good that you have had complete cardiac check up and any cardiac ailment is ruled out.
There is a previous history of H. pylori positive gastritis and H. pylori is an important cause of gastritis.
H. pylori eradication therapy should be taken.
PPI is one component of H.pylori eradication therapy and additional antibiotics are present in the eradication therapy.
I suggest you to consult your gastroenterologist for clinical assessment and prescription of H. pylori eradication therapy if not taken previously.
Thanks and take care
