You may be suffering from Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). It may be due to lax lower esophageal sphincter cause return of abdominal contents into esophagus.
Avoid spicy food, alcohol, smoking and caffeine drinks. Eat less quantity of meals with increased frequency and elevate your head end of bed during sleep. Also, use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.
If symptoms not improved, then please consult your physician so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
