Hello
Your problem may be due to many reasons like heart burn,anxiety etc.
You need proper evaluation and further investigations.
I suggest my patients to take combination tablet of proton pump inhibitors like tablet omeprazole and domperidone half hour before food in the morning.
Chest X-ray (PA )should also be taken.
Ultrasound of abdomen and upper GI endoscopy can be done if needed.
Treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Take Care
