Brief Answer:
Symptomatic treatment

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. This chest pain with history of indigestion and burping and bloating is likely acid reflux and gastritis.

You need a few antacids, reduction of carbonated water as it is causing this burping and bloating , eat small frequent meals and take some motility enhancing medications. Avoid spicy and fatty meals, processed foods, carbonated beverages, caffeine, alcohol and smoking as they can trigger indigestion and see if it helps.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Regards
Khan
