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. 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 symptoms belching, burping, chest tightness, gaseous distention of stomach etc. So no need to worry about heart diseases. You are mostly having HERD. Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 2. Take antacid like pantoprazole on empty stomach. 3. Go for walking after meals. 4. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits. 5. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 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.
