Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern. Pan 40 is having pantoprazole 40mg. It is antacid drug.
Your symptoms are more suggestive of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause burping, belching, burning chest pain, food stuck in stomach etc.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
2. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
3. Take combination of pantoprazole and levosulperide twice daily on empty stomach.
4. Go for walking after meals. Loose weight if you are obese. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
