General & Family Physician,  's  Response
You might be suffering from gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this, the contents of the stomach come back into the esophagus (the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach).There are several causes of GERD. One possible reason has to do with the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus. Normally, this muscle closes to keep food and stomach acid from coming back up the esophagus. In some people with GERD, this muscle does not always work right. GERD often causes heartburn, a burning feeling in the chest and throat. Heartburn may happen many times a week, especially after eating or at night. Treatment options are medicines, surgery and endoscopic treatment. Lifestyle changes are also advised.
Advice
1.     Omeprazole 20 mg per oral empty stomach in the morning for 7 days
2.     Domperidone 10 mg per oral when you feel nausea
3.     Avoid alcohol, smoking, spicy food, and non-steroidal pain killer for few days
4.     Avoid eating 3 hours before lying down
5.     Raise the head of your bed
If you do not get relief after above measures then contact your doctor.

Thanks
