[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having mostly HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Cough can be seen due to micro aspiration from reflux. And bubbling sensation can be due to gaseous feeling and burning. Both are seen in HERD. 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. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. Don't worry, you will be alright.
