Maybe: This could be a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disesae (gerd). You should see your doctor to discuss this further. Also, you shouldn't eat for 3 hours before going to sleep at night.

Gastric Reflux?: When we are awake, our mouth is above our stomach. However, when we lay down, a weakness in the muscle that prevents the stomach contents from leaking up the esophagus is also known as gastric reflux. This is a hiatal hernia. Please see your physician and discuss your symptoms with them. Not pursuing treatment could lead to heart burn & dental decay because of the acidic contents of the stomach.
