Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns

This is probably resulting from the back flow of secretions in the stomach. This mostly happens when the pressure in the stomach is much and when one is lying supine.

To control this situation, you need to adopt some lifestyle modifications like
1) Sitting for about 2 hour after meals before going to bed or lying down
2) Avoid eating too much especially in the evening

I believe these measures would help if you try them
I hope I have answered your query
I wish you well
