You may be suffering from GERD(Gastro esophageal Reflux disease).
If i were your treating doctor I would have advised you following,
1.Small frequent diet.
2.Plenty of water.
3.Avoid spicy food,tea, coffee,aerated drink,and alcoholic drinks.
4. Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux. if we lie immediately down after a large meal, food comes back into the esophagus and heartburn occurs, please avoid this.
5.pantoprazole and domperidon before meals.
6.Tab acetaminophen SOS for head ache.
If not improved within a week or so I would advice him an endoscopy.
