[|AI|]  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. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of Central burning chest pain, chest tightness, gaseous feeling in stomach and bubbles in stomach. So better to follow these lifestyle modifications 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. 3. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor.  4. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux disease. 5. Lose weight if you are obese. 6. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. You will mostly improve with all these modifications. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
