Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I suggest using antacids such as Maalox.
I also recommend using medication to lower the acidity in the stomach such as Omeprazole daily in the morning before breakfast. I suggest avoiding spicy food or medications that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
