Brief Answer:
Do not be very concerned.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
You have reported couple of health issues on this query; I shall address them individually. Both these conditions are not related to each other.
1. Shivering during meal hours - the most likely cause would be metabolic changes secondary to low sugars. Very commonly this would not lead you to serious problems; however I would like to rule out glucose intolerant state. Glucose tolerance test is a worthwhile test if it has not been done yet.
Apart from blood sugar induced metabolic changes, you can also consider testing your thyroid hormones too.
If the tests reveal normal reports, you need not be concerned.
2. Gas burping and regurgitation is a symptom of indigestion. It improves with antacid and prokinetic drugs. I use omeprazole with domperidone for 2-3 weeks and recommend dietary changes - low spicy food, regular meals and adequate sleep before investigating. Your local doctor will know about these medications.
Reflux esophagitis where the lower esophagus of lax is an organic condition which may cause similar complaints. I would consider investigating for it if symptoms do not improve with the above line of treatment.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
