My partner suffered for years, every single day after every single meal. When I finally got him to the doctor, he was prescribed Omeprazole and - as New Seeker says - the problem is completely rectified. If it is just indigestion, then it's a simple solution, but if the tablets don't work, then it could be a sign of other things that the doctor will be able to send you for tests to isolate. Don't worry though, the first thing he will probably try are the tablets and if they work, sorted. You just get it on repeat prescription and take one a day. Once it's in your system, if you're not having food that is liable to give you indigestion, you can sometimes even skip odd days, etc.
