Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I would recommend trying antacids like Gelusil, Digene, or Pudin Hara for relief from the heat and discomfort in your stomach. Additionally, you can consider taking medications like Pantocid or Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate chest pain while eating. It is important to avoid trigger foods like tea or coffee that can worsen your symptoms.
