This looks like acid reflux, also called gastritis or GERD, where stomach acid moves upward, causing throat and chest burning.
It usually happens when acid irritates the food pipe, often worsened by eating spicy food, lying down soon after meals, stress, or skipping meals. Even coffee, citrus fruits, or late-night eating can trigger this.
For now, eat small, frequent meals, avoid spicy or oily food, and do not lie down for at least 2 hours after eating. You can take a mild antacid like syrup Gelusil or tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before breakfast for 5 days. Drink plenty of water and reduce tea or coffee.
If the burning continues beyond a week or you notice trouble swallowing, get an upper GI check. For a detailed review and safe plan, I can assess your case here on Practo.
