Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more likely. GERD is commonly seen in obese people. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause stomach fullness, bloating, breathing difficulty etc. So first try to lose weight by dieting and exercise. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
