Brief Answer:
It can be GERD
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Your symptoms are consistent with GERD(gastroesophageal reflex disease).
As a first line management you have to avoid spicy foods and carbonated beverages. Restrict alcohol intake as well.
You can take over the counter available drugs like pantoprazole once in the morning for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist you have to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. In that case you may require an endoscopy as well.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
