Brief Answer:
it needs to be investigated.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX welcome to health care magic,
Since the problem has been there for 4 years and more severe now in spite of appropriate treatment, it needs to be investigated.
You could have H Pylori infection----an infection in stomach that can cause severe irritation.
or GERD-----GASTRO EOSOPHAGEAL REFLUX--loose wind pipe muscle that causes food to regurgitate up.
or Hiatus hernia--the opening in muscle between chest and abdomen becomes loose and stomach bulges into chest causing extreme discomfort.
Sure it is a good idea to see a doctor and get investigated for all this.
Regards
