Hello
The symptoms you have mentioned seem like you have Gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD).
To start with, please make some lifestyle and diet changes. Lose some weight if you're overweight. Do not eat spicy or oily food often, have very light and early dinner and sleep with adequate head end elevation with pillows, also making sure you're comfortable.
Next, medications, you will need a good antacid with a prokinetic, which the doctor will prescribe after examination, until then please take a over the counter antacid.
For further evaluation, you will need a upper GI endoscopy.
Kindly fix an appointment with a medical gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and further treatment. Based on the endoscopy findings, further management can be planned.
Next Steps
