Hello,
what you are experiencing at present is likely to be due to gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The possibility of having cancer of the stomach is very unlikely at your age and you need not worry.
if you have already seen a surgeon or physician, you are likely to be on a combination of medicines to reduce the symptoms, if not I suggest you try a combination of proton pump inhibitor plus prokinetic for a week.
If you continue to have symptoms, then please get an upper GI endoscopy on empty stomach.
Apart from these, I would suggest a few life style modifications which will certainly help you.
1. Please reduce your weight, ideal should be 65-70kg for your height.
weight training and cardio exercises will help.
2.Try eating small frequent meals, 4 to 6 times a day rather than 3 full meals. Avoid spicy food , reduce non vegetarian food ( in case if you take non veg food )
3.Go light on your evening meal and have 2 hours gap before hitting the bed.
4. Head end elevation with 2 pillows while you sleep. Turn to left side and sleep.
5.If you are an anxious type of person or worry a lot about things you cannot control, I reckon you find ways to calm your mind.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Dr.Sunay N.Bhat
