Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to gastro-esophageal reflux or hiatal hernia. For this reason, I would recommend performing a chest X-ray study and a fibrogastroscopy.
In the meantime, it is important trying to avoid large meals and eat more frequently in small meals.
Hope you will find this answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka
