Brief Answer:
gastroscopy required

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
In this case i suggest to do gastroscopy as soon as possible. It can be worsneing of gerd but also some other esophageal or stomach disorder such as ulcer, hiatal hernia, tumor or stomach motility disorder. Till that he should avoid meal 3 hours prior to sleep. Avoid spicy food, coffee, alcohol and carbonated rinks. Avoid long sitting after meal and overeating. He should drink menta tea and milk products. He should sleep with elevated upper body. Wish you good health. Regards
