Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for sharing the information.

As per your description I were to make a provisional diagnosis of acid peptic disease or commonly called as acidity.I would suggest to-

-Take antireflux medications such as Tab.Prilosec 20mg once daily for 4 weeks half an hour before breakfast.
-Regularise your food habits.Avoid oily, spicy, junk and fatty food(if any).Stop alcohol.
-Drink plenty of water.
-Dine atleast 2 hours before you go to bed or as early as possible.
-Do an exercise of your choice-walking for atleast 30-40mins is advisable.This will make your stomach and bowels more healthy.

Feel free to reach for further queries you may have.

Regards
Dr.Praveen
