Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

This could be due gastric reflux.

I recommend the following.
1) Avoid taking coffee or tea.
2) Avoid smoking and alcohol. If you don't have this habit kindly ignore this suggestion.
3) Keep regular diet habits. Avoid skipping meals.
5) Avoid spicy and junk foods, especially at night.
6) Drink enough water before going for bed.
7) Take your dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime. Never lie down as soon as you take dinner.
8) Proton pump inhibitors like tablet rabeprazole.

You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
