Brief Answer:
It sounds perfectly harmless

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your symptoms do not sound serious, and a course of simcon with two tablets morning and evening seems OK to try. Alternatively, you could try a proton pump inhibitor or magnesium oxide for a few weeks. If there is no relief, you should reconsider ultrasound and endoscopy.

I also recommend that you make a diet diary, to ascertain if there are certain food items that trigger your symptoms, e.g. wheat. If so, stay away from those food items.
Thanks.
