Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Probably GERD: Your symptoms are probably due to acid reflux. If you avoid the precipitating factors, and try over-the-counter antacids for a few weeks, it might come under control. If it does not, then you should see your doctor or a gastroenterologist for more intensive treatment. Good luck.
