Tightness or pressure in chest
From past few days I wakeup in the morning with pain in my chest almost everyday. The tightness is very uncomfortable and doesn't let me sleep. And when I do some stretchings, I get big burps and then feel ease. The pressure or tightness lowers after every burp. Is this gas accumalating in my chest? Why is this happening? What should I do to prevent/cure this? Please help

As per your history this looks like symptoms of gastritis.
Need to follow some lifestyle changes. Take food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as needed thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep stomach 1/4 th empty.Divide meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which is being observed to cause bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc.
