Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
Suggest that you are suffering from GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) so what all you have to do is:
1.Avoid fatty meals
2. Don’t lie down soon after meals for at least two hour
3.Take small and frequent meals, instead of full meals at a time
4. wear loose clothes
5. If you are overweight or obese do weight reduction with dieting and exercise
6.Take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole along with a prokinetic agent like itopride
