Hi,
Welcome to the HCM
All of your symptoms are caused by gas in the stomach.To treat that first of all loose some weight,eat frequent but small meals,no large meals at a time.Decrease sugary and fried things in diet.Have your dinner at least 2 hrs before sleeping at night.Try some yoga also and having aleo vera juice in the morningn would also help.
You may also take tab.esmoprazole 20 mg before breakfast if symptoms are worsened .Get an ECG done to rule out any cardiac cause and follow accordingly.

Hi,
Looking to the history it seems that there might be having hyper acidity or acid reflux giving this problem.
But seeing the symptoms any coronary issue is to be ruled out like coronary insufficiency, angina.
Go for EKG.
Take Omeprazole medicine for few days.
Avoid fried, chillies and junk food.
Ok and take care.
