Hello!
You have a lot of belching, chest discomfort that may be related to reflux disease. However, your data does not provide enough information to make a diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
You should adjust your daily diet:
Do not eat too full Avoid foods that make you feel uncomfortable after eating, burp a lot Avoid foods that are difficult to digest such as greasy foods, sticky rice, ... Avoid using alcohol, stimulants Daily exercise Reduce stress If after adjusting the diet and living activities as above but the uncomfortable symptoms do not improve, you should see a gastroenterologist. .
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more specific advice. Best regards!
