General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux.

It can be caused by a hiatus hernia.

I recommend using antacids such as Maalox.

I also suggest using PPI medication such as Omeprazole.

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

Regards,
