<s>[INST] hi I have had a tight feeling in my chest everyday for 7 years now,it is relieved by burping,but is always there,despite taking many indegestion tablets.I also suffer with neck stiffness,tummy aches nauseas and slight headaches.This gets me down,can you help? [/INST] 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 chest tightness, pressure, burping, nausea etc. Along with Chat Doctor.  1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Go for walk after meals. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 6. Lose weight if you are obese. 7. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these lifestyle modifications. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. </s>
