Has your dad had an upper GI or endoscopy? He could have a hiatal hernia or any number of things going on in there. His doctor needs to investigate further.

whatever medication the dr. has put him on for simple heartburn just throw it out and any potential and unknown side effects and google apple cider vinegar for heartburn which is the same thing as Acid Reflux “disease” (ya right)
feeling bloated can partially blamed on not chewing enough but you can buy digestive enzymes that help break foods down quickly at a health food store and they are cheap.
I suffereed from heartburn nightly until I was 21 or 22 (35 now) and apple cider vinegar cured it immediately. Medications had other side effects and really didn’t work well.
