Hello, I am Dr Mody and I would be addressing your concern.
If you are less than 40 years and active. The symptoms you describe is characteristic of reflux gastritis. Regards
Here the lower food pipe valve is not working effectively resulting in reflux of stomach acid in the food pipe causing sour taste and checking like sensation.
It's termed a s gastroesophagical reflux disease.
The treatment is simple and you should be find with medication for 3-4 weeks after confirmation of the same.
