Brief Answer:
GERD, capsule omez 20 mg once daily for 15 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query. Based on the information provided by you, you might be having gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

I would suggest you to avoid spicy food and eat bland food for week at least. Avoid alcohol and smoking. Eat small frequent meals rather than heavy meals. Do not lie down after eating, walk for 15 to 20 minutes post lunch and dinner.

I would have treated you with capsule omez (omeprazole) 20 mg taken daily once before breakfast for 15 days. I would have asked you for follow up after 15 days.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
