Brief Answer:
These are symptoms of acid reflux!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Your symptoms are typical of acid reflux. I will like to know what medications you are on. Your treatment needs to be optimized. Also, there is need for lifestyle modifications including avoiding late meals, limiting fats and chocolates, no tobacco, limited alcohol intake, etc.

First, let me hear what you take for acid reflux and what measures your practice. I will start by optimizing this and would take on from there.

I wish you well.
