Brief Answer:
Suggestive of GERD.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am, Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on healthcare magic.
After having gone through the brief history given in your query, you seem to be having gastro-esophageal reflux disorder.
It is due to hypermotility of oesophagus (food pipe).
Can you please provide the following details:
1. For how long you have been suffering from this problem?
2. Do you take any medications for any other medical issue? If yes, kindly give the details?
3. Do you take alcohol?
4. Do you suffer from hearburn, upper abdominal discomfort or indigestion?
Awaiting your reply so as to analyze your condition properly to give some advice.
Thanks.
