Hi Ajay,
Thanks for writing your query.

Your symptoms seems to be due to increased acidity in your stomach and its reflux towards esophagus.

In addition to the medicines, you should follow some precautions like :-
1. Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2. Avoid cigarette/alcohol.
3. Donot miss a meal.
4. Avoid mental/emotional stress.
5. Donot self medicate especially with pain killers and steroids.

You can take antacids like Ranitidine 150 mg twice a day before meals along with Domperidone 10 mg for relief of your symptoms. Taking antacid in gel form is also beneficial as it forms a protective coating over the damaged mucosa of the stomach.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
