Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

It could be gastro esophageal reflux disease. (GERD).

A lower esophageal Ph monitoring is useful in confirming the diagnosis.

H2 blocking drugs or proton pump inhibitors prescribed by your doctor will help.
Some time prokinetics may help

Hope this helps.
