Hi,
From your symptoms,it seems that you are having acid peptic disorder,which usually causes heart burn along with belching.
You did not mention your age and sex,and if you are an alcoholic/chronic smoker.
Do you take any other drugs specially NSAIDS(pain killers)?
I advise you to take a course of ppi like rabeprazole and itopride,
antacid gel in the required dosage.
If still your problem persists,then consult with your physician to get some tests done.
Take care
