Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of gastritis and acid reflux.
As of now you can take over the counter available antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid spicy foods and restrict the use of alcohol.
You can sleep in a slightly head up position to prevent reflux.
If symptoms persists you have to get an endoscopy done.
Hope I have answered your query.
