Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more. 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 symptoms of gaseous distention of stomach, chest pain, chest tightness, pressure etc. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 2. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. 3. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach. 4. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 5. Loose weight if you are obese. 6. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you are having 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.
