[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. But better to rule out cardiac cause first by ECG. If ECG is normal than you are having HERD mostly. It is due to laxity of lower esophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause heart burn. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid hot and spicy food 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.3. Avoid stress and anxiety.4. Take proton pump inhibitor.5. Go for walk after meals .6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
