Brief Answer:
A number of causes

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

This could be due to acid reflux (GERD) which can be relieved by taking Omeprazole once daily and ranitidine before every meal. This also could be a sign of diabetes, so I would recommend that you get a blood test for testing blood glucose levels both fasting and postprandial. Another reason could be dehydration so I would recommend that you keep yourself adequately hydrated.

I hope you find this helpful. If you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
