Acid reflux

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Burning pain in the chest area (heartburn) and burps indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) also called as acid reflux.

You may get relief by taking Sompraz-L once daily before breakfast for 4 weeks.
Also avoid coffee, citrus, chocolates, carbonated beverages, spicy food. Eat multiple smaller meals and go to bed 2-3 hours after taking food.

Regards,
Dr.R.K.
