Brief Answer:
Try omeprazole!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this these symptoms that you have reported. Your symptoms are suggestive of a possible gastric reflux disease. This causes stomach content to return to the oesophagus and mouth. This causes pains from acid burns. The best approach would be to try omeprazole. This usually helps and very fast. If symptoms fail to get better within 3 days, then a specialist consult for evaluation would be advised. Also, avoid leaning forward and going to bet shortly after meals. Raise the head of the bed and avoid fatty meals, alcohol and cigarettes.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
