Heart burning, Acidity
I'm 34 yr old male, moderate to heavy built, weighing 98 kg, height at 180 cm. for the last 3-4 months I'm having heart burning issue, especially while sleeping in the night. Before that I use to have this problem only when I take heavy non veg for dinner, but recently irrespective of veg or non veg, light or heavy I'm having this heart burning issue along with acidity which sometimes chokes me in my sleep. Taking Digene or other digesting syrup are becoming useless. I do drink plenty of water normally, having dinner at 7.30 pm normally. I smoke 6-7 cigs per day, beer once or twice a month.
Can someone pls help me to understand what this symptom is about? Which doctor to consult? Thanks in advance.
