Brief Answer:
GERD and a possible esophagitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

You are having symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and a possible esophagitis (injury to the inner lining of the food pipe).
GERD is a condition in which stomach contents reflux in to the food pipe causing symptoms you have mentioned.

Medications and lifestyle changes are important for relief.

Take Sompraz-L once daily half an hour before breakfast for 4 weeks.
Avoid alcohol and smoking if you have these habits.
Avoid coffee, citrus, chocolates, carbonated beverages, spicy/fatty food.
Do not eat full stomach. Eat multiple smaller meals.
Go to bed at least 2-3 hours after food.
Get an upper GI endoscopy done to rule out esophagitis.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
