Hi,
It is from acidity in the stomach which also reflexes to esophagus causing burning. Though you taking antacid, you can use better and more potent medicine. Take Lansoprazole and syrup of Digene. You will relieve in a couple of weeks.
Preventive measures are: Avoid smoking citrus foods tomatoes lemons and take milk in diet and if you are stressed relax. If symptoms don't relieve in one week report to an emergency room for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
