Hello,
Most probably it will be due to severe gastric reflux.
As of now you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist consult a physician and get evaluated to rule out heart or lung related problems.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
