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 due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause burping, chest pain, breathing difficulty etc. So avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Lose weight if you are obese. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily. 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.
