General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It is due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux. As a first line management you can take antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
