It is most likely GERD.
Avoid spicy food, tea and coffee. You have to quit smoking and alcohol if you indulge into it.
Hydrate yourself well and drink about 2L water/ day.
Add curd to your diet.
Can take Tab. Pantocid 40mg once a day before breakfast for 2 weeks.

It is most probably GERD
It could be Achalasia Cardia also
If you don’t get better with medicines in 2-3 weeks you need to undergo an upper GI endoscopy
