Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of having hiatal hernia for the last 5 years and have developed burping or belching slimy bubbles for about 5 minutes only when you eat
The most probable cause is that you are having aerophagia and/or stress or anxiety related issue which allows to swallow the air which comes out as slimy bubble.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Take slow chewing and swallowing practices. No haste, no hurrying in while drinking or eating.
Continue your medications as before.
You will improve.
