Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. The following are the few lifestyle changes you can try to relieve GERD symptoms - Maintain a healthy body weight. - Quit smoking and alcohol. - Elevate the head of your bed, which can prevent acid easily refluxing through your esophagus. - Do not lie down after the intake of food. - Eat your food slowly and chew it thoroughly well. - Avoid foods and drinks such as chocolate and coffee that trigger reflux. - Avoid heavy meals You can also take over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole. If the symptoms do not improve in a week, follow up with your primary provider. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
