Hello,
Most probably it will be due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux. As a first line management, you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
