Nondiagnostic: These symptoms are somewhat nonspecific but could indicate some form of esophageal motility disorder with the association of belching,discomfort in the midback and upper abdomen. Hiatal hernia and gall bladder disease are also possibilities. A gastroenterologist is best qualified to evaluate,advise and treat you if symptoms persist.
