Brief Answer:
Could be Gastritis. Try acid reducing medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Hi. It could most likely be Gastritis due to increased acid secretion in the stomach. That is by far the commonest cause of these symptoms.
I usually advice my patients Tab Pantoprazole 40mg or Cap Omeprazole 20 mg on empty stomach twice a day half hour to one hour before meals.
If the medicines do not relieve the pain then you should see a Gastroenterologist and get an Upper GI Endoscopy done to see the condition of your food pipe and stomach.
Do let us know if there are any further queries.
Take care.
