<bot>: Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a specialist of the field (psychotherapist or psychiatrist) to help you manage anxiety. An antidepressant would be better than Asian as long term therapy for the management of anxiety. I would also recommend trying Omeprazole. If it helps, it would be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux or gastritis underlying your symptoms. In such case a fibrogastroscopy would be necessary. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
