Hi.
Gastroesophageal acid reflux could be the cause for your symptoms as you did mention acid reflux. Request your doctor for a 24-acid pH monitoring to confirm/rule out the diagnosis. Also if you have symptoms like bitter taste in mouth from food or liquid regurgitation into mouth, dry cough, abdominal bloating, abdominal pain or cramps, sensation of lump at the back of the throat, etc; then GERD is the most likely cause.
Best wishes.
