Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms are pointing towards Gastro-esophageal reflux disease commonly known as Acid reflux and it causes regurgitation of acid from stomach to food pipe and throat and even mouth leading to irritation in the lining of the food pipe causing irritation, inflammation and burning..
You should consult a Gastro-enterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to get an upper G.I Endoscopy done and if acid reflux is confirmed he can advise you to take proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole or Rabeprazole and H2 blockers like Ranitidine, antacids like milk of magnesia..
Take short frequent meals, avoid spicy and acidic foods, and also heavy meals..
You should loose weight if obese, take short walks after meals,drink plenty of water..
Sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet and recline in left lateral position..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora.
